VT activation maps were used to demarcate the isthmus zone (IZ). Offline analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of low-voltage area (LVA) PF substrate mapping. A total of 30 patients encompassing 198 935 EGMs were included. The IZ PF was significantly higher in sinus rhythm (SR) compared to right ventricular paced (RVp) substrate maps (234\u2005Hz (195\u2013294) vs. 197\u2005Hz (166\u2013220); P = 0.010). Compared to LVA PF, the IZ PF was significantly higher in both SR and RVp substrate maps (area under curve, AUC: 0.74 and 0.70, respectively). The LVA PF threshold of \u2265200\u2005Hz was optimal in SR maps (sensitivity 69%; specificity 64%) and RVp maps (sensitivity 60%; specificity 64%) in identifying the VT isthmus. In amiodarone-treated patients (n = 20), the SR substrate map IZ PF was significantly lower (222\u2005Hz (186\u2013257) vs. 303\u2005Hz (244\u2013375), P = 0.009) compared to amiodarone-na\u00efve patients (n = 10). The \u2265200\u2005Hz LVA PF threshold resulted in an 80% freedom from VT with a trend towards reduced ablation lesions and radiofrequency times.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>LVA PF substrate mapping identifies critical components of the VT circuit with an optimal threshold of \u2265200\u2005Hz.
