Figure 2 Typical electromechanical maps of infarcted myocardium. Red indicates regions of abnormal electromechanical activity, whereas a region in which function remains unhindered is color-coded blue/purple. (A) Local shortening (red: abnormally contracting regions with values <4%; purple: normal contractile function >12%). (B) Unipolar electrogram amplitude (red: amplitude <8 mV; purple: >12 mV). (C) Slew rate (red: <0.8 mV/ms; purple: >2 mV/ms). (D) Endocardial impedance (red: <120 {Omega}; purple: >160 {Omega}). The two red tags indicate ablation points, which were used for correct alignment of the map and the left ventricle prior to the transmurality analysis. Reconstructed maps are shown in a left anterior oblique projection, and the white head indicates the left ventricular base).
