Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to assess the value of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) electrograms (EGMs) in identifying clinically documented ventricular tachycardias (VTs). BACKGROUND:Twelve-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) of spontaneous VT often are not available in patients referred for catheter ablation of post-infarction VT. Many of these patients have ICDs, and the ability of ICD EGMs to identify a specific configuration of VT has not been described. METHODS:In 21 consecutive patients referred for catheter ablation of post-infarction VT, 124 VTs (mean cycle length: 393 ± 103 ms) were induced, and ICD EGMs were recorded during VT. Clinical VT had been documented with 12-lead ECGs in 15 of 21 patients. The 12-lead ECGs of the clinical VTs were compared with 64 different inducible VTs (mean cycle length: 390 ± 91 ms) to assess how well the ICD EGMs differentiated the clinical VTs from the other induced VTs. The exit site of 62 VTs (mean cycle length: 408 ± 112 ms) was identified by pace mapping (10 to 12 of 12 matching leads). The spatial resolution of pace mapping to identify a VT exit site was determined for both the 12-lead ECGs and the ICD EGMs using a customized MATLAB program (version 7.5, The MathWorks, Inc., Natick, Massachusetts). RESULTS:Analysis of stored EGMs by comparison of receiver-operating characteristic curve cutoff values accurately distinguished the clinical VTs from 98% of the other inducible VTs. The mean spatial resolution of a 12-lead ECG pace map for the VT exit site was 2.9 ± 4.0 cm(2) (range 0 to 17.5 cm(2)) compared with 8.9 ± 9.0 cm(2) (range 0 to 35 cm(2)) for ICD EGM pace maps. The spatial resolution of pace mapping varied greatly between patients and between VTs. The spatial resolution of ICD EGMs was < 1.0 cm(2) for ≥ 1 of the target VTs in 12 of 21 patients and 19 of 62 VTs. By visual inspection of the ICD EGMs, 96% of the clinical VTs were accurately differentiated from previously undocumented VTs. CONCLUSIONS:Stored ICD EGMs usually are an accurate surrogate for 12-lead ECGs for differentiating clinical VTs from other VTs. Pace mapping based on ICD EGMs has variable resolution but may be useful for identifying a VT exit site.
