ABSTRACT
In activation mapping of reentrant atrial tachycardia (AT), there was no reference for window of interest (WOI). We examined the timing of a successful termination site from end of the P wave and attempted to determine whether the critical isthmus can be identified using activation mapping when WOI was set as end to end of the P wave. Forty patients with 54 reentrant AT who underwent 3D electroanatomic mapping and radiofrequency catheter ablation were evaluated retrospectively. The critical isthmus was defined as a successful termination site. We evaluate critical isthmus timing from end of the P wave and percentage of critical isthmus timing from end of the P wave to tachycardia cycle length. In 54 reentrant AT, Macro-reentry was identified in 46 (85.2%) and micro-reentry was identified in eight (14.8%). The timing of the critical isthmus site from end of the P wave was - 4.0 ± 31.1 ms (Macro-reentry vs. Micro-reentry; - 8.9 ± 29.4 ms vs. 24.0 ± 26.7 ms; P = 0.005). The percentage of critical isthmus timing from end of the P wave/tachycardia cycle length was - 1.4 ± 10.5% (Macro-reentry vs. Micro-reentry; - 3.1 ± 9.8% vs. 8.3 ± 9.3%, P = 0.004) The critical isthmus of reentrant AT is located within 10% backward and forward from end of the P wave to tachycardia cycle length. Setting the WOI from end to end of the P wave is useful for identification of the critical isthmus through activation mapping.
