Estimation of the peak frequency (PF) component of the electrogram (EGM) may improve correct near-field (NF) annotation to identify circuit segments on the mapped surface. In turn, assessment of NF and far-field (FF) EGMs may delineate the three-dimensional path of a ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuit.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A proprietary NF detection algorithm was applied retrospectively to scar-related re-entry VT maps and compared with manually reviewed maps employing first deflection (FDcorr) for VT activation maps and last deflection (LD) for substrate maps. Ventricular tachycardia isthmus location and characteristics mapped with FDcorr vs. NF were compared. Omnipolar low-voltage areas, late activating areas, and deceleration zones (DZ) in LD vs. NF substrate maps were compared. On substrate maps, PF estimation was compared between isthmus and bystander sites. Activation mapping with entrainment and\/or VT termination with radiofrequency (RF) ablation confirmed critical sites. Eighteen patients with high-density VT activation and substrate maps (55.6% ischaemic) were included. Near-field detection correctly located critical parts of the circuit in 77.7% of the cases compared with manually reviewed VT maps as reference. In substrate maps, NF detection identified deceleration zones in 88.8% of cases, which overlapped with FDcorr VT isthmus in 72.2% compared with 83.3% overlap of DZ assessed by LD. Applied to substrate maps, PF as a stand-alone feature did not differentiate VT isthmus sites from low-voltage bystander sites. Omnipolar voltage was significantly higher at isthmus sites with longer EGM durations compared with low-voltage bystander sites.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The NF algorithm may enable rapid high-density activation mapping of VT circuits in the NF of the mapped surface. Integrated assessment and combined analysis of NF and FF EGM-components could support characterization of three-dimensional VT circuits with intramural segments. For scar-related substrate mapping, PF as a stand-alone EGM feature did not enable the differentiation of functionally critical sites of the dominant VT from low-voltage bystander sites in this cohort.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euae154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T19:33:58Z","timestamp":1717443238000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Near-field detection and peak frequency metric for substrate and activation mapping of ventricular tachycardias in two- and three-dimensional circuits"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4689-8384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johanna B","family":"Tonko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cardiovascular Science, University College London , 5 University Street, London, WC1E 6JF , UK"},{"name":"Barts Heart Centre, St Bartholomew s Hospital , W Smithfield, London EC1A 7BE , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2303-9755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina","family":"Lozano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Hospital Universitario Ram\u00f3n Y Cajal , Colmenar Viejo road, km. 9,100, Madrid 28034 , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5075-0684","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Javier","family":"Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Hospital Universitario Ram\u00f3n Y Cajal , Colmenar Viejo road, km. 9,100, Madrid 28034 , Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6111-0022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony","family":"Chow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barts Heart Centre, St Bartholomew s Hospital , W Smithfield, London EC1A 7BE , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9148-9571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehul","family":"Dhinoja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barts Heart Centre, St Bartholomew s Hospital , W Smithfield, London EC1A 7BE , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9055-9267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pier D","family":"Lambiase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Cardiovascular Science, University College London , 5 University Street, London, WC1E 6JF , UK"},{"name":"Barts Heart Centre, St Bartholomew s Hospital , W Smithfield, London EC1A 7BE , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024073112193185500_euae154-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2184","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.111.043216","article-title":"Elimination of local abnormal ventricular activities.
