ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A novel aggregated multiposition noncontact mapping (AMP-NCM) algorithm is proposed to diagnose cardiac arrhythmias.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to computationally determine an accuracy threshold and to compare the accuracy and clinical utility of AMP-NCM to gold standard contact mapping.METHODS:
In a cellular automata model, the number of catheter positions and chamber coverage were varied to establish accuracy requirements for clinically relevant AMP-NCM. This guided the clinical study protocol. In a prospective cohort of patients with atrial tachycardia (AT), noncontact mapping (NCM) recordings from a single position (SP) and multiple positions were compared to contact mapping with a high-density multipolar catheter using morphology and timing differences of reconstructed signals. Identification of AT mechanisms and ablation targets using both AMP-NCM and contact mapping were randomly evaluated by 5 blinded reviewers.RESULTS:
AMP-NCM accuracy was asymptotic at 60 catheter positions in computational modeling. Twenty patients (age 65 ± 12 years; 19 male) with 26 ATs (5 focal, 21 reentrant) were studied. Morphologic correlation of signals derived from AMP-NCM was significantly better than those from SP-NCM compared to contact signals (median 0.93 vs 0.76; P <.001). AMP-NCM generated maps more rapidly than contact mapping (3 ± 1 minutes vs 13 ± 6 minutes; P <.001) and correctly diagnosed AT mechanisms in 25 of 26 maps (96%). Overall, 80% of arrhythmia mechanisms were correctly identified using AMP-NCM by blinded reviewers.CONCLUSION:
Once 60 catheter positions were achieved, AMP-NCM successfully diagnosed mechanisms of AT and identified treatment sites equal to gold standard contact mapping in 3 minutes of procedural time.Palavras-chave
