In 1924, the Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the mechanism of the electrocardiogram (ECG). Anno 2024, the ECG is commonly used as a diagnostic tool in cardiology. In the paper 'Le Télécardiogramme', Einthoven described the first recording of the now most common cardiac arrhythmia: atrial fibrillation (AF).

In 2024, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Willem Einthoven receiving the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the mechanism of the electrocardiogram (ECG). Building on Einthoven's legacy, electrocardiography allows the monitoring of cardiac bioelectricity through solutions to the so-called forward and inverse problems. These solutions link local cardiac electrical signals with the morphology of the ECG, offering a reversible connection between the heart's electrical activity and its representation on the body surface.

Aims: In repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), the septal anatomical isthmuses (AI), AI 3, between the ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary annulus, and AI 4, between the VSD and tricuspid annulus, are important ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrates when slow conducting. Our aim was to assess the influence of VSD characteristics, specifically the presence of muscular or fibrous tissue at its border, on the presence or absence of septal AIs, potentially related to VT.
Methods And Results: All consecutive rTOF patients who underwent electroanatomical mapping between January 2005 and March 2023 with an available surgical report providing VSD details (n = 91) were included.
