Peak frequency analysis and functional substrate mapping to predict critical isthmus of atypical atrial tachycardia: Findings from a novel automated annotation algorithm to detect near-field signals.
Heart Rhythm
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Atypical atrial tachycardia (AT) is a commonly encountered rhythm disorder, especially in patients with underlying atrial scar. Peak frequency (PF) annotation of bipolar electrograms is a novel method that mainly aims to discriminate near-field and far-field signals.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the PF annotation of low-voltage zones and deceleration zones during sinus/paced rhythm and their role in predicting the critical isthmus (CI) and termination sites of atypical ATs.

Department of Paediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute, Rao Saheb, Achutrao Patwardhan Marg, Four Bungalows, Andheri West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400053 India.
Unlabelled: In congenital heart surgery, redo-sternotomies are very common. In most cases, sternal re-entry is achieved without serious complications. However, sometimes elective institution of peripheral cardiopulmonary bypass is needed for safe sternotomy, albeit with a long cardio-pulmonary bypass time.

Division of Cardiology, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland.
Atrial flutter (AFL), defined as macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, is associated with debilitating symptoms, stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. AFL is classified into typical, or cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent, and atypical, or non-CTI-dependent. Atypical AFL is a heterogenous group of re-entrant atrial tachycardias that most commonly occur in patients with prior heart surgery or catheter ablation.

January 2025
Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Programmed electrical stimulation (PES) is an essential part of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures, but VT is not always inducible, usually for reasons that are not clear.
Objectives: This study sought to review pacing site-specific failure of PES to induce scar-related VT and to provide a potential mechanistic explanation of the phenomena using a computer simulation.
Methods: Six patients in whom aggressive PES from traditional RV pacing sites failed to induce VT, but VT was easily inducible from a nontraditional site, were reviewed.
