Figure 4 LA Electroanatomical Maps of the Adenosine-Insensitive Focal AT From Patient #5
Posterior views are shown for both isochronal and voltage maps. (A) The isochronal map demonstrates an early site of activation in the posterior left atrium (LA) near the ostium of the left inferior pulmonary vein. (B) In the voltage map, voltages >0.3 mV are purple. A small region of lower voltage is present near the site of early activation, with a minimum voltage of 0.13 mV. (C) Electrogram recorded at successful ablation site is low amplitude, wide, and highly fractionated, as recorded in the Carto system (left) and conventional recording system (right). (D) Termination of atrial tachycardia (AT) by applying 1.6 s of radiofrequency (RF) energy at site of fractionated electrogram. ABL d = ablation distal; CS = coronary sinus.
