The direction of left ventricular activation influences the spatial distribution of activation slowing, which may inform novel ventricular tachycardia substrate mapping strategies.
Abstract
The spatial distribution of activation slowing is dependent on the direction of LV activation with the area of maximal slowing corresponding to the site where the wavefront first interacts with the infarct. This data may have implications for VT substrate mapping strategies.
