We present a patient with non-inducible atrial tachycardia (AT) after atriotomy for surgical repair of heart disease who underwent ablation successfully. Using a 3-D mapping system, we presumed the atriotomy site on the lateral right atrial wall by searching for linear double potentials (DP) during sinus/paced rhythm from the coronary sinus, but it was evaluated incompletely. We could verify the edges of the atriotomy scar precisely by pacing from close to the linear DP lesion and the opposite site. After ablation between the presumed atriotomy scar and the inferior vena cava and cavotricuspid isthmus, no AT recurred without anti-arrhythmic drugs.

Electrographic flow mapping of persistent atrial fibrillation: intra- and inter-procedure reproducibility in the absence of 'ground truth'.

Aims: Validating mapping systems that identify atrial fibrillation (AF) sources (focal/rotational activity) is confounded by the absence of ground truth. A key concern of prior mapping technologies is spatiotemporal instability, manifesting as poor map reproducibility. Electrographic flow (EGF) employs a novel algorithm that visualizes atrial electrical wavefront propagation to identify putative AF sources.

Background: A novel mapping algorithm utilizing vectors and global patterns of propagation (Coherent™, Biosense Webster) has been developed to help identify the mechanism of atrial tachycardia (AT). We aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of coherent mapping compared with that of ripple mapping.
Methods And Results: This study included 41 consecutive patients with 84 ATs (47 reentrant and 37 focal ATs).

Background: The role of fiber orientation on a global chamber level in sustaining atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. The goal of this study was to correlate the fiber direction derived from Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) with AF inducibility.
Methods: Transgenic goats with cardiac-specific overexpression of constitutively active TGF-β1 (n = 14) underwent AF inducibility testing by rapid pacing in the left atrium.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 may trigger both vasculitis and arrhythmias as part of a multisystem inflammatory syndrome described in children as well as in adults following COVID-19 infection with only minor respiratory symptoms. The syndrome denotes a severe dysfunction of one or more extra-pulmonary organ systems, with symptom onset approximately 2-5 weeks after the COVID-19 infection. In the present case, a seemingly intractable ventricular tachycardia preceded by SARS-CoV2 infection was only managed following the diagnosis and management of aortitis.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAT was mapped with Advisor HD Grid for earliest breakout site via local activation timing (LAT) map and Omnipolar map. While both maps point to earliest breakout site from low anterior right atrium, omnipolar map localised it to a more precise location compared to the earliest breakout site from LAT map. Ablation in this same spot rendered AT non inducible.
