    • BACKGROUND Disease progression in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To assess left ventricular(LV) scar progression and dilatation by using endocardial electroanatomic mapping. METHODS We studied 13 patients with NICM and recurrent ventricular tachycardia. Two detailed sinus rhythm endocardial voltage maps(265 +/- 122 points/map) were obtained after a mean of 32 months(range 9-77 months). The scar area, defined by low bipolar (BI; less than 1.5 mV) and unipolar(UNI; less than 8.3 mV) endocardial voltage, and the LV volume were measured and compared. A scar difference of greater than 6% of the LV surface and an increase in LV volume of greater than= 20 mL were considered beyond measurement error. RESULTS Six (46%) patients had an increase in scar area beyond boundaries of prior ablation. Five patients had an increase in UNI and 1 patient had an increase in both BI and UNI areas. The increase in BI area represented 16% and the increase in UNI area represented 6.5%-46.2% of the LV surface. A significant decrease in LV ejection fraction was found only in patients with scar progression (from 39% +/- 8%:p = .0003) (LV volume increase ranging between 9% and 23%) was noted in 3 patients, all of whom had scar progression. CONCLUSIONS Progressive scarring with an increase in the area of UNI and less commonly BI electrogram abnormality is seen in 46% of the patients with NICM and ventricular tachycardia and is associated with LV dilatation and decrease in LV ejection fraction. The prominent UNI abnormality suggests predominantly midmyo-cardial or epicardial scarring.

  • The substrate and ablation of ventricular tachycardia in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Circulation Journal. - 1346-9843 .- 1347-4820. ; 77:8, s. 1957-66

    • The term "nonischemic cardiomyopathy" (NICM) designates a myocardial disease characterized by mechanical and/or electrical dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, hypertension, or congenital heart disease. Although sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurs in only 5% of patients with NICM, it is an important cause of sudden cardiac death. In this review we summarize the current understanding of the anatomic and electrophysiologic substrates of VT in the different types of NICM. In addition, we discuss recent progress and experience with catheter ablation of VT in these patients.

  • Risk Stratification of Patients With Apparently Idiopathic Premature Ventricular Contractions A Multicenter International CMR Registry
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: JACC. - : ELSEVIER. - 2405-500X .- 2405-5018. ; 6:6, s. 722-735

    • OBJECTIVES This study investigated the prevalence and prognostic significance of concealed myocardial abnormalities identified by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with apparently idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). BACKGROUND The rote of CMR imaging in patients with frequent PVCs and otherwise negative diagnostic workup is uncertain. METHODS This was a multicenter, international study that included 518 patients (age 44 +/- 15 years; 57% men) with frequent (>1,000/24 h) PVCs and negative routine diagnostic workup. Patients underwent a comprehensive CMR protocol including late gadolinium enhancement imaging for detection of necrosis and/or fibrosis. The study endpoint was a composite of sudden cardiac death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and nonfatal episodes of ventricular fibrillation or sustained ventricular tachycardia that required appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy. RESULTS Myocardial abnormalities were found in 85 (16%) patients. Mate gender (odds ratio [OR]: 4.28; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.06 to 8.93; p = 0.01), family history of sudden cardiac death and/or cardiomyopathy (OR: 3.61; 95% CI: 1.33 to 9.82; p = 0.01), multifocat PVCs (OR: 11.12; 95% CI: 4.35 to 28.46; p < 0.01), and non-left bundle branch block inferior axis morphology (OR: 14.11; 95% CI: 7.35 to 27.07; p < 0.01) were alt significantly related to the presence of myocardial abnormalities. After a median follow-up of 67 months, the composite endpoint occurred in 26 (5%) patients. Subjects with myocardial abnormalities on CMR had a higher incidence of the composite outcome (n = 25; 29%) compared with those without abnormalities (n = 1; 0.2%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS CMR can identify concealed myocardial abnormalities in 16% of patients with apparently idiopathic frequent PVCs. Presence of myocardial abnormalities on CMR predict worse clinical outcomes. (C) 2019 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation.

  • Electrical connection between ipsilateral pulmonary veins : prevalence and implications for ablation and adenosine testing.
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Heart Rhythm. - : Elsevier BV. - 1547-5271 .- 1556-3871. ; 12:2, s. 275-82
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: Anatomic studies have reported the presence of shared myocardial fibers between approximately half of ipsilateral pulmonary veins (IPVs).OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of electrical connection between IPVs and the impact of antral isolation with or without carina ablation on IPV connection.METHODS: Thirty consecutive patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation (14 redo) were included. Wide antral pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) was performed with or without carina lesions. For each PV set, IPV electrical connection was assessed before and after PVI by pacing and recording from the ostium of both IPVs using a circular mapping catheter and the ablation catheter. Adenosine was given after PVI to assess for acute PV reconnection.RESULTS: Before PVI without preceding AF ablation procedure, all the PVs had ipsilateral connection albeit frequently via the left atrium. After PVI, 65.6% of the IPVs were connected without carina ablation vs 17.7% if prior carina ablation (P = .001). Left vs right IPVs were connected in 57.1% and 72.2% of the cases without carina ablation, respectively, vs 30% and 0% of cases with carina ablation (P = .19 and P = .001). When transient PV reconnection was demonstrated during adenosine challenge, connected IPVs uniformly demonstrated simultaneous reconnection.CONCLUSION: Electrical connection between IPVs is uniformly demonstrated before any ablation. Two-thirds of the IPVs are connected after antral PVI, and carina ablation decreases IPV connection. Connected IPVs consistently show the same response to adenosine challenge; therefore, a single catheter positioned in either of the IPVs with electrical connection is sufficient to confirm reconnection in both veins.

  • Loss of local capture of the pulmonary vein myocardium after antral isolation : prevalence and clinical significance.
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Cardiovascular Electrophysiology. - : Wiley. - 1045-3873 .- 1540-8167. ; 26:3, s. 242-50

    • INTRODUCTION: Capture of the myocardial sleeves of the pulmonary veins (PV) during PV pacing is mandatory for assessing exit block after PV isolation (PVI). However, previous studies reported that a significant proportion of PVs failed to demonstrate local capture after PVI. We designed this study to evaluate the prevalence and the clinical significance of loss of PV capture after PVI.METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty patients (14 redo) undergoing antral PVI were included. Before and after PVI, local PV capture was assessed during circumferential pacing (10 mA/2 milliseconds) with a circular multipolar catheter (CMC), using EGM analysis from each dipole of the CMC and from the ablation catheter placed in ipsilateral PV. Pacing output was varied to optimize identification of sleeve capture. All PVs demonstrated sleeve capture before PVI, but only 81% and 40% after first time and redo PVI, respectively (P < 0.001 vs. before PVI). In multivariate analysis, absence of spontaneous PV depolarizations after PVI and previous PVI procedures were associated with less PV sleeve capture after PVI (40% sleeve capture, P < 0.001 for both). Loss of PV local capture by design was coincident with the development of PV entrance block and importantly predicted absence of acute reconnection during adenosine challenge with 96% positive predictive value (23% negative predictive value).CONCLUSION: Loss of PV local capture is common after antral PVI resulting in entrance block, and may be used as a specific alternate endpoint for PV electrical isolation. Additionally, loss of PV local capture may identify PVs at very low risk of acute reconnection during adenosine challenge.
