Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate nature of AV nodal activation in patients with AVNRT using high density electro-anatomic mapping (HD-EAM).

Methods

HD-EAM was created in 30 patients with AVNRT from the triangle of Koch (ToK) in sinus rhythm (SR). Isochronal late activation maps (ILAM) were created. EAMs were analyzed for slow pathway (SPW) and fast pathway (FPW) activation. A pivot point (PP) was defined where FPW and SPW collided and pivoted back to the AV node (AVN). Conduction was assessed with programmed extrastimulus (PES) in 9 patients until FPW refractory period (ERP). The change in PP distance from the HIS (ΔPP) was measured in SR and PES. The ΔPP was compared to ΔAH. The PP was ablated and SR re-mapped.

Results

The FPW activates the His and moves inferiorly toward the coronary sinus (CS). Activation also enters the ToK near the CS and collides with the FPW which then pivots around a functional line of block (LOB) within the ToK and moves superiorly along the septal tricuspid annulus. PP electrograms are fractionated, low amplitude, and consistent with SPW potentials (Haissaguerre et al. in Circulation 85:2162–2175, 1992). During PES the PP moved superiorly until FPW ERP when only SPW activation occurs. Normalized ΔAH and ΔPR vs ΔPP was highly correlated p < 0.0001. Ablation at the PP was successful and associated with loss of SPW fusion and pivot.

Conclusion

We conclude HD-EAM/ILAM provide a novel method for localizing the SPW in SR. This study provides further understanding of dual AV nodal physiology and may aid in targeting the SPW for ablation of AVNRT.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.

"Stammzell-Pflaster" gegen geschwächte Herzen: Hoffnung oder Hype?

Eine Nature-Publikation zur Behandlung der Herzinsuffizienz mit von Stammzellen abgeleiteten Herzzellen sorgt in Publikumsmedien für Wirbel. Deren Erkenntnisse sind in der Tat spektakulär – und gleichzeitig vorläufig und ernüchternd.
