RESUMO

AIMS: Slow conduction (SC) anatomical isthmuses (AIs) are the dominant substrate for monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTF). This study aimed to evaluate the utility of automated propagational analysis for the identification of SC-AI in patients with rTF. METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive rTF patients undergoing VT substrate characterization were included. Automated isochronal late activation maps (ILAM) were obtained with multielectrode HD Grid Catheter. Identified deceleration zones (DZs) were compared with both SC-AI defined by conduction velocity (CV) (<0.5 m/s) and isthmuses of induced VT for mechanistic correlation. Fourteen patients were included (age 48; p25-75 35-52 years; 57% male), 2 with spontaneous VT and 12 for risk stratification. Nine VTs were inducible in seven patients. Procedure time was 140 (p25-75 133-180) min and mapping time 29.5 (p25-75 20-37.7) min, using a median of 2167 points. All the patients had at least one AI by substrate mapping, identifying a total of 27 (11 SC-AIs). Isochronal late activation maps detected 10 DZs mostly in the AI between ventricular septal defect and pulmonary valve (80%). Five patients had no DZs. A significant negative correlation between number of isochrones/cm and CV was observed (rho -0.87; P < 0.001). Deceleration zones correctly identified SC-AI (90% sensitivity; 100% specificity; 0.94 accuracy) and was related to VT inducibility (P = 0.006). Deceleration zones co-localized to the critical isthmus of induced VTs in 88% of cases. No complications were observed. CONCLUSION: Deceleration zones displayed by ILAM during sinus rhythm accurately identify SC-AIs in rTF patients allowing a safe and short-time VT substrate characterization procedure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) causes a reduction in left atrium size that is attributable to reverse atrial remodeling (RAR). The objective of this study was to identify predictors of RAR and determine its association with other parameters of improvement in cardiac function. METHODS: It is a prospective study with 74 patients (52 ± 9 years old, 81% male), and 51% of patients had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Patients were serially assessed with transthoracic echocardiography; plasma N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP); and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months following the PVI. RAR was defined as a reduction in the left atrial volume index (LAV-index) >10% from baseline at the end of follow-up. A multivariate analysis was conducted to identify predictors of RAR. RESULTS: The LAV-index decreased significantly during follow-up in the entire population (P = 0.0005). RAR (experienced by 63.5% of the patients) was more frequent (76% vs. 42%; P = 0.004) and pronounced (reduction 16.65 ± 14% vs. 8 ± 14%; P = 0.015) in patients with a successful ablation (46 of 74 patients, 62.2%). Only patients with RAR showed significant improvement in NT-proBNP levels (P = 0.0001), systolic function (P = 0.035), and diastolic function (P = 0.005). Multivariable analysis revealed that a successful ablation (odds ratio [OR] = 4.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.46-14.68; P = 0.009), LAV-index (OR = 1.15; 95% CI 1.03-1.2; P = 0.021), and patient's body mass index (OR = 0.84; 95% CI 0.74-0.96; P = 0.012) were independent predictors of RAR. CONCLUSIONS: Successful PVI ablation is the main predictor of RAR that is associated with other parameters of improvement in cardiac function. The patient's body mass index may have a negative effect on RAR.

RESUMO

We describe a case of ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient with tricuspid atresia and L-malposition of great vessels using an electroanatomical mapping system integrated with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Atrial activation mapping during tachycardia identified the retrograde fast pathway proximal to the His bundle, observed in the left interatrial septum. Ablation was successfully completed below this area. Map integration with the patient's anatomy allowed a safe, individualized procedure.

RESUMO

Background: Whether the sex factor influences the benefit of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for the prevention of sudden death remains a subject of debate. Using a prospective registry, we sought to analyze the survival and time to first ICD therapy according to sex. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of patients undergoing an ICD implant from 2008 to 2019. Data about time to first appropriate therapy, type of therapy administered, and incidence and causes of mortality were collected. Results: Among 756 ICD patients, 150 (19.8%) were women. Women were younger (51 ± 15 years vs. 61 ± 14 years; p < 0.001) and showed a lower rate of ischemic cardiomyopathy (23% vs. 54%; p < 0.001) and atrial fibrillation (12% vs. 19%; p = 0.05). Women had higher left ventricular ejection fraction (39% ± 17% vs. 35% ± 13%) and showed more frequently left bundle branch block (39% vs. 28%, p = 0.027). The rate of primary prevention (68% vs. 59.6%; p = 0.058) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (27% vs. 19%, p = 0.02) were higher in women. After a median follow-up of 46 months (3382 patient-years), the incidence of both the primary combined endpoint of mortality/transplant (20% vs. 29%; logrank = 0.031) and ICD therapies (27% vs. 34%; p = 0.138) were lower in women. According to the propensity score-matching analysis, no differences were observed between both sexes with respect to the incidence of mortality/transplant (24.8% vs. 28.6%; logrank = 0.88), ICD therapies (28% vs. 27%; logrank = 0.17), and main cause of death (heart failure [HF]). Conclusions: The clinical characteristics at the moment of ICD implant are different between sexes. After adjusting them, both sexes equally benefit from the ICD. HF is the main cause of mortality both in men and women.
