However, the utility of unipolar electrogram morphology, particularly when associated with discrete pre\u2010potentials, in guiding IVA mapping is not well understood.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed 537 patients who underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for IVAs between March 2016 and August 2023.

Unipolar electrograms associated with discrete pre\u2010potentials exhibited an initial negative morphology in only 13 out of 23 patients (56.5%). In contrast, initial positive and isoelectric configurations in unipolar electrograms were observed in two patients (8.7%) and eight patients (34.8%), respectively. Perfect pace mapping was obtained in 21 patients (91.3%). RFCA was successful at the earliest site of the pre\u2010potential within 3.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.5\u2009s in all 23 patients. During the 2.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2 years follow\u2010up period, only one patient (4.3%) experienced a recurrence of clinical IVAs, with no complications reported during RFCA or
