BACKGROUND: The development of multielectrode mapping catheters has expanded the spectrum of mappable ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Full diastolic pathway recording has been associated with a high rate of VT termination during radiofrequency ablation as well as noninducibility at study end. However, the role of diastolic pathway mapping on VT recurrence has yet to be clearly elucidated. We aimed to explore the role of complete diastolic pathway activation mapping on VT recurrence.
METHODS: Eighty-five consecutive patients who underwent VT ablation guided by high-density mapping were enrolled. During activation mapping, the presence of electrical activity in all segments of diastole defined the evidence of having had recorded the whole diastolic interval. Patients were categorized as having recorded the full diastolic pathway, partial diastolic pathway, or no diastolic pathway map performed. Recurrences of VT were defined as appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapies or on the basis of ECG-documented arrhythmia.
RESULTS: Eighty-five patients were included. Complete recording of the diastolic pathway was achieved in 36/85 (42.4%) patients. Partial recording of the diastolic pathway of the clinical VT was achieved in 24/85 (28.2%) patients. No recording of the diastolic pathway of the clinical VT was feasible in 25/85 patients (29.4%). At a mean of 12.8 months, freedom from VT recurrence was 67% in the overall cohort. At a mean of 12.8 months, freedom from VT recurrence was 88%, 50%, and 55% in patients who had full diastolic activity recorded, partial diastolic activity recorded, or underwent substrate modification, respectively; the observed differences were statistically significant (P=0.02).
CONCLUSIONS: Mapping of the entire diastolic pathway was associated with a higher freedom from VT recurrence as compared with partial diastolic pathway recording and substrate modification. The use of multielectrode mapping catheters in recording diastolic activity may help predict those VTs employing intramural circuits and further optimize ablation strategies.
