This study aimed to observe the feasibility of substrate modification by radiofrequency catheter ablation and its effects on VF storm.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>\n            <jats:italic>Methods and Results:<\/jats:italic>\n          <\/jats:bold> Ten BS patients (all men; median age 36.5 years) with VF storm (group I, n = 4) and no VF storm (group II, n = 6) were enrolled in the study between August 2007 and December 2008. All patients underwent electrophysiological study using noncontact mapping. The multielectrode array was placed in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). The isopotential map was analyzed during sinus rhythm and the region that had electrical activity occurring during J point to +60 (J+60) milliseconds interval of the V1 or V2 of surface ECG was considered as the late activation zone (LAZ) and also the substrate for ablation. LAZ was found in RVOT with variable distribution in both groups. Endocardial catheter ablation of the LAZ modified Brugada ECG pattern in 3 of 4 patients (75%) and suppressed VF storm in all 4 patients in group I during long\u2010term follow\u2010up (12\u201330 months). One patient had complete right bundle branch block from the ablation procedure.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic>\n          <\/jats:bold> LAZ on RVOT identified by noncontact mapping may serve as potential VF substrate in BS patients with VF episodes. Radiofrequency ablation on LAZ normalized ECG, suppressed VF storm, and reduced VF recurrence. The procedure is safe and may prevent VF occurrence. <jats:italic>(J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. 23, pp. S10\u2010S16, November 2012)<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2012.02433.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,9]],"date-time":"2012-08-09T14:46:16Z","timestamp":1344523576000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Endocardial Mapping and Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Fibrillation Prevention in Brugada Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"BUNCHA","family":"SUNSANEEWITAYAKUL","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"YAN","family":"YAO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SUTHASINEE","family":"THAMAREE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SHU","family":"ZHANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0735-1097(92)90253-J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.RES.0000046046.53721.90"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2006.00507.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI0215570"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.109.887026"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1540-8167.2004.03655.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.72.1025"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000118467.53182.D1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2007.10.059"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2010.01767.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.71.1258"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1540-8167.2004.03675.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.771401"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2009.01677.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.99.19.2543"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8159.2007.00703.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2010.09.088"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000066319.56234.C8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2009.01.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.110.972612"}],"container-title":["Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1540-8167.2012.02433.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2012.02433.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]],"date-time":"2023-09-12T13:16:52Z","timestamp":1694524612000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2012.02433.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,18]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"s1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2012.02433.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1540-8167.2012.02433.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1045-3873","1540-8167"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1045-3873","type":"print"},{"value":"1540-8167","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,9,18]]}}}
