High-density Epicardial Mapping in Brugada Syndrome: Depolarization and Repolarization Abnormalities.
Heart rhythm(2022)
摘要
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of Brugada syndrome (BrS) and consequently of abnormal electrograms (aEGMs) found in the epicardium of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT-EPI) is controversial.& nbsp;OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze aEGM from high-density RVOT-EPI electroanatomic mapping (EAM).& nbsp;METHODS All patients undergoing RVOT-EPI EAM with the HD-Grid catheter for BrS were retrospectively included. Maps were acquired before and after ajmaline, and all patients had concomitant noninvasive electrocardiographic imaging with annotation of RVOT-EPI latest activation time (RVOTat). High-frequency potentials (HFPs) were defined as ventricular potentials occurring during or after the far -field ventricular EGM showing a local activation time (HFPat). Low-frequency potentials (LFPs) were defined as aEGMs occurring after near -field ventricular activation showing fractionation or delayed components. Their activation time from surface ECG was defined as LFPat.& nbsp;RESULTS Fifteen consecutive patients were included in the study. At EAM before ajmaline, 7 patients (46.7%) showed LFPs. All patients showed HFPs before and after ajmaline and LFPs after ajmaline. Mean HFPat (134.4 vs 65.3 ms, P <.001), mean LFPat (224.6 vs 113.6 ms, P <.001), and mean RVOTat (124.8 vs 55.9 ms, P <.001) increased after ajmaline. RVOTat correlated with HFPat before (r = 0.76) and after ajmaline (r = 0.82), while RVOTat was shorter than LFPat before (P <.001) and after ajmaline (P <.001). BrS patients with history of aborted sudden cardiac death had longer aEGMs after ajmaline.& nbsp;CONCLUSION Two different types of aEGMs are described from BrS high-density epicardial mapping. This might correlate with depolarization and repolarization abnormalities. (C)& nbsp;2021 Heart Rhythm Society.All rights reserved.& nbsp;
