Endocardial late potentials during sinus rhythm define the re-entry circuit of ventricular tachycardia in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.

چکیده
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by progressive fibro-fatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. We report a case where mapping of endocardial potentials during sinus rhythm identified the re-entry circuit of a recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a patient with ARVC. The tachycardia was subsequently ablated successfully.

Epicardial substrate and outcome with epicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia.
BACKGROUND Efficacy of endocardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia may be limited by epicardial VT, right ventricular thickening, or both. We sought to characterize the endocardial versus epicardial substrate, measure right ventricular free wall thickness, and determine epicardial ablation efficacy in patients with right ventric...
متن کاملOccurrence and clinical significance of endocardial late potentials and fractionations in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
In order to assess the occurrence and clinical significance of abnormal electrograms in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, endocardial electrode mapping during sinus rhythm and programmed ventricular stimulation were performed in 52 patients with or without clinical ventricular tachycardia. Abnormal endocardial electrograms were recorded in 77% of the patients and were diffusely distributed ove...

BACKGROUND Ventricular tachycardia ablation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is more successful when including epicardial ablation. Scarring may cause independent, layered epicardial activation and promote epicardially confined ventricular tachycardia circuits. We aimed to characterize transmural right ventricular activation in ARVD patients and to compare this with referenc...

INTRODUCTION Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an inherited myocardial disease affecting predominantly young people and manifests as sustained ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block morphology, sudden death or isolated right or biventricular heart failure. However, its first manifestation as sustained ventricular tachycardia in older patients without preceding sy...

A 34-year-old male patient with known atypical, predominantly right ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy was admitted to our department because of repeated ventricular tachycardias and implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks (Figure A). An extracorporal life support system was implanted because of hemodynamic instability, and an electrophysiological study was performed. Epicardial acc...
