BACKGROUND: The boundaries of critical isthmuses for re-entrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) are formed by wavefront discontinuities (fixed lines of block, slow propagation, and rotational propagation) seen during baseline rhythm. It is unknown whether wavefront discontinuities can be automatically identified and targeted for ablation using electroanatomic mapping systems.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the electrophysiologic characteristics of automatically projected wavefront discontinuity lines (WADLs) and outcomes of an ablation strategy targeting WADLs in a mixed cohort of VT patients.
METHODS: Late activation substrate maps were analyzed from 1 or more baseline rhythm wavefronts. WADLs were identified using the Carto Extended Early Meets Late module. Number, total length, and distance to critical VT sites were measured. VT recurrence and VT-free survival were followed.
RESULTS: In total, 49 patients underwent 52 ablations with 71 unique substrate maps analyzed (18.8% epicardial; 62.0% right ventricular paced, 28.2% sinus rhythm, 9.9% left ventricular paced). A total of 28 VT critical sites were identified in 24 patients. WADLs were present in 49 of 71 (69.0%) maps. WADLs were present regardless of cardiomyopathy etiology, mapping wavefront, or surface. At a WADL threshold of 30%, 73.9% of critical VT sites were in close proximity (≤15 mm) to a WADL. VT-free survival was 62% at 1 year, with a competing risk model estimating a 1-year risk of VT recurrence of 23%.
CONCLUSIONS: WADLs can be automatically projected in a majority of patients in a mixed cohort of cardiomyopathy etiology, mapped wavefronts, and myocardial surfaces mapped. Targeting WADLs results in low rate of VT recurrence at 1 year.
