This study aimed to examine the correlation between localized lines of conduction block (LOB) evident during baseline rhythm with lateral isthmus boundaries that 3-dimensionally constrain the VT isthmus as a hyperboloid structure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 175 VT activation maps were correlated with isochronal late activation maps during baseline rhythm in 106 patients who underwent catheter ablation for scar-related VT from 3 centers (42% nonischemic cardiomyopathy). An overt LOB was defined by a deceleration zone with split potentials (\u226520 ms isoelectric segment) during baseline rhythm. A novel application of pacing within deceleration zone (\u2265600 ms) was implemented to unmask a concealed LOB not evident during baseline rhythm. LOB identified during baseline rhythm or pacing were correlated with isthmus boundaries during VT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 202 deceleration zones analyzed during baseline rhythm, an overt LOB was evident in 47%. When differential pacing was performed in 38 deceleration zones without overt LOB, an underlying concealed LOB was exposed in 84%. In 152 VT activation maps (2D=53, 3-dimensional [3D]=99), 69% of lateral boundaries colocalized with an LOB in 2D activation patterns, and the depth boundary during 3D VT colocalized with an LOB in 79%. In VT circuits with isthmus regions that colocalized with a U-shaped LOB (n=28), the boundary invariably served as both lateral boundaries in 2D and 3D. Overall, 74% of isthmus boundaries were identifiable as fixed LOB during baseline rhythm or differential pacing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority of VT circuit boundaries can be identified as fixed LOB from intrinsic or paced activation during sinus rhythm. Analysis of activation while pacing within the scar substrate is a novel technique that may unmask concealed LOB, previously interpreted to be functional in nature. An LOB from the perspective of a myocardial surface is frequently associated with intramural conduction, supporting the existence of a 3D hyperboloid VT circuit structure. Catheter ablation may be simplified to targeting both sides around an identified LOB during sinus rhythm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circulationaha.123.065525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T05:00:18Z","timestamp":1693198818000},"page":"1354-1367","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Identification of Human Ventricular Tachycardia Demarcated by Fixed Lines of Conduction Block in a 3-Dimensional Hyperboloid Circuit"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"148","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0234-390X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Takuro","family":"Nishimura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Chicago Medicine, Pritzker School of Medicine, Illinois (T.N., A.D.B., G.A.U., Z.A.A., H.M.N., D.Y.S., R.T.)."},{"name":"Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Japan (T.N., S.M., M.G., T.S.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathan","family":"Shatz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, Illinois (N.S., M.R.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1228-2581","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"J.
