BACKGROUND: The analysis of the wave-front activation patterns is crucial for the comprehension and treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT). The ventricular electrograms duration map (VEDUM) is a potential method to identify areas (VEDUM area) with slow and inhomogeneous activation. There is no available data on the characteristics and the arrhythmogenic role of VEDUM areas identified during sinus/paced rhythm.
METHODS: Patients referred for VT ablation were enrolled at 3 different centers. VEDUM maps during sinus/paced rhythm as well as substrate and functional maps were created; activation mapping was performed for all hemodynamically tolerated VT.
RESULTS: Thirty-two patients (mean age:70.1±9.4 years; males 93.8%) were enrolled. The VEDUM approach was achieved in all patients and the mean size of the VEDUM area was 12.1±6.9 cm2 (interquartile range, 7.8-14.9 cm2). A significative difference was observed between the electrogram duration in the VEDUM area and the normal tissue (163.7 ms [interquartile range, 142.3-199.2 ms]; versus 65.5 ms [interquartile range, 59.5-76.2 ms]; P<0.001). The VEDUM area was visualized in a dense scar (<0.5 mV) in 19 (59.4%) patients. A deceleration zone and late potentials were recorded inside the VEDUM area in 56.3% and 81.3%, respectively. When a complete VT activation mapping was available, the isthmus projected in the VEDUM area in 93.5% of patients; 8 of them had multiple VTs mapped and in the 87.5% all VT isthmuses were included in the VEDUM area.
CONCLUSIONS: VEDUM maps allow the identification of discrete areas of inhomogeneous and slow conduction. They represent a potential target for VT ablation, including patients with multiple morphologies.
