OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to describe and identify useful electrocardiographic characteristics to help identify the mechanism of atrial tachycardia (AT) occurring after persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) ablation.
BACKGROUND: Electrocardiographic analysis to help identify the mechanism of AT after PsAF ablation is much limited by the fact that remodeling and ablation alter the normal activation pattern.
METHODS: All consecutive patients who underwent mapping and ablation of AT after PsAF ablation were included. Surface P waves were analyzed during higher (>2:1) grades of atrioventricular block.
RESULTS: One hundred ninety-six ATs with visible P waves were identified in 127 patients (macro-re-entry in 57%, centrifugal AT in 43%). One-third displayed low-voltage P waves (≤0.1 mV). An isoelectric line >80 ms was more common in centrifugal compared with macro-re-entrant AT (47% vs. 24%; p < 0.001), but its positive predictive value was limited (60%). A minority of peritricuspid ATs displayed the classic saw-tooth pattern (27% [n = 22]). However, the "precordial transition" (a gradual transition from an upright component in lead V1 to a negative component with progression across the precordium) remained often observed and specifically identified peritricuspid AT (specificity, 98%; sensitivity, 59%). Only 2 unique features could help identify perimitral AT (n = 60). First, the presence of a negative or negative-positive P-wave in any of leads V2 to V6 identified perimitral AT with 97% specificity and 30% sensitivity. Second, a "notched" negative component at the beginning of a positive P-wave in the inferior leads specifically identified clockwise perimitral AT (specificity, 98%; sensitivity, 25%).
CONCLUSIONS: Only few unique electrocardiographic characteristics help identify the mechanism of AT after PsAF ablation. Knowledge of these characteristics may aid in planning and performing ablation.
