Bipolar recordings displayed low-voltage fractionated potentials in epicardium because of temporal and spatial variability in appearance of the action potential dome. Concealed phase 2 reentry developed when action potential dome was lost at some epicardial sites but not others, appearing in the bipolar electrogram as discrete high-frequency spikes. Successful propagation of the phase 2 reentrant beat precipitated ventricular tachycardia\/ventricular fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation of the epicardium destroyed the cells displaying abnormal repolarization and thus suppressed the J waves and the development of ventricular tachycardia\/ventricular fibrillation in 6\/6 preparations.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our findings suggest that low-voltage fractionated electrical activity and high-frequency late potentials recorded from the epicardial surface of the left ventricle can identify regions of abnormal repolarization responsible for ventricular tachycardia\/ventricular fibrillation in ERS and that radiofrequency ablation of these regions in left ventricular epicardium can suppress ventricular tachycardia\/ventricular fibrillation by destroying regions of ER.<\/jats:p>\n
