A new automated vector-based mapping algorithm (AMA) for 3-dimensional (3D) mapping has been introduced. The aim of this study was to present our experience using AMA to recognize additional catheter ablation targets in patients with ventricular arrhythmias (VA). A total of 16 patients (ICM; ischemic cardiomyopathy,n= 6; NICM; non-ischemic cardiomyopathyn= 10) suffering from VA underwent catheter ablation. Following bipolar voltage mapping, AMA was utilized to reveal zones of decelerated conduction velocity vectors (CVV) and this information was superimposed onto the 3D reconstructions and compared with the presence of scar. Mapping time was 28.1 ± 10 min for the endocardial reconstruction of the left ventricle (LV) and 17 ± 5.4 min for the epicardium (n= 6 patients). The mean area of LV low voltage was 13.9 ± 15% (endocardial) and 11.9 ± 5.7% (epicardial). Decelerating CVV zones were revealed in all patients (mean conduction velocity threshold of 39.3 ± 13%). Sustained VA have been terminated through ablation and substrate modification was performed in all patients. Correlation between the presence of CVV deceleration zones and areas of abnormal low voltage from bipolar mapping was revealed in only 37.5% of patients, but there was good correlation between scar from unipolar voltage mapping and the presence of CCV deceleration zones (94%;p= 0.008). The novel AMA may improve the understanding of individual VA substrates due to the visualization of decelerated CVV zones and their correlation with abnormal low voltage predominantly from unipolar mapping.
