The 2019 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/LAHRS Expert Consensus Statement on Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias-Mapping of VA (Presenter: Thomas Deneke, MD, PhD, FHRS)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker thanks the authors of a paper on mapping and imaging of ventricular arrhythmia. They touch on various mapping techniques including activation mapping, entrainment mapping, and substitute mapping. They discuss the advantages of activation entrainment mapping and the use of electro-anatomic mapping in structural heart cases. They also mention high-density mapping and the importance of characterizing the electrical microsignals. The limitations of substitute mapping are acknowledged, and the speaker states that only about 30% of identified targets are related to ventricular tachycardia. The paper also recommends the use of intra-procedural imaging techniques such as coronary angiography and intracardiac echocardiography. Overall, substrate-based approaches are recommended for structural ventricular tachycardia, and high-density mapping and electro-anatomic mapping can be helpful. Intra-procedural imaging can reduce complications and aid in early detection.
