Abstract

Background: Accurate annotation of local activation time is crucial in the functional assessment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate. A major limitation of modern mapping systems is the standard prospective window of interest (sWOI) is limited to 490 to 500 milliseconds, preventing annotation of very late potentials (LPs). A novel retrospective window of interest (rWOI), which allows annotation of all diastolic potentials, was used to assess the functional VT substrate. Objectives: This study sought to investigate the utility of a novel rWOI, which allows accurate visualization and annotation of all LPs during VT substrate mapping. Methods: Patients with high-density VT substrate maps ..
