Head-to-Head Comparison of T1 Mapping and Electroanatomical Voltage Mapping in Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias

JACC Clin ElectrophysiolPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

This study found a significant inverse relationship between LV endocardial voltage and ECV.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing endocardial electroanatomical voltage mapping (EAVM) for ventricular arrhythmias with preprocedural T1-mapping CMR (nonischemic/ischemic cardiomyopathy/controls: 8/6/4)628 segments
Participants
18 patients
Exposure
ECV by T1-mapping CMR vs left ventricular (LV) endocardial voltage by EAVM
Outcome
Relationship between LV endocardial voltage (EAVM) and ECV (T1 mapping)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

GroupAUC for abnormal bipolar voltage (BV) (<2.9 mV)AUC for abnormal unipolar voltage (UV) (<6.7 mV)
ECV0.78 (95% CI: 0.74-0.83)0.84 (95% CI: 0.79-0.88)

ECV

AUC for abnormal bipolar voltage (BV) (<2.9 mV)0.78 (95% CI: 0.74-0.83)
AUC for abnormal unipolar voltage (UV) (<6.7 mV)0.84 (95% CI: 0.79-0.88)

Observational data: associations, not effects.
