RESUMEN

In the setting of structural heart disease, ventricular tachycardia (VT) is typically associated with a re-entrant mechanism. In patients with hemodynamically tolerated VTs, activation and entrainment mapping remain the gold standard for the identification of the critical parts of the circuit. However, this is rarely accomplished, as most VTs are not hemodynamically tolerated to permit mapping during tachycardia. Other limitations include noninducibility of arrhythmia or nonsustained VT. This has led to the development of substrate mapping techniques during sinus rhythm, eliminating the need for prolonged periods of mapping during tachycardia. Recurrence rates following VT ablation are high; therefore, new mapping techniques for substrate characterization are required. Advances in catheter technology and especially multielectrode mapping of abnormal electrograms has increased the ability to identify the mechanism of scar-related VT. Several substrate-guided approaches have been developed to overcome this, including scar homogenization and late potential mapping. Dynamic substrate changes are mainly identified within regions of myocardial scar and can be identified as local abnormal ventricular activities. Furthermore, mapping strategies incorporating ventricular extrastimulation, including from different directions and coupling intervals, have been shown to increase the accuracy of substrate mapping. The implementation of extrastimulus substrate mapping and automated annotation require less extensive ablation and would make VT ablation procedures less cumbersome and accessible to more patients.
