Structural factors contributing to the development of post-infarction ventricular tachycardia (VT) are unclear. The purpose of this study was to analyze infarct architecture and electrogram characteristics in patients with and without inducible VT and to identify correlates of post-infarction VT. Twenty-four post-infarction patients (median age 64 [53,70] years) were referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation of VT (n=12) or frequent symptomatic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs, n=12). Delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) was obtained prior to ablation. Electroanatomical mapping was performed and scar area and electrogram characteristics of the scar tissue were compared in patients with and without inducible VT. The median ejection fraction in subjects with and without inducible VT was 27% [22,43] and 43% [40,47], respectively (p=0.085). Subendocardial infarct area determined by DE-MRI was larger in patients with inducible VT (43 [38,62] cm2) than those who were non-inducible (8 [4,11] cm2, p=0.002), and unipolar and bipolar voltages on electroanatomical maps were significantly lower in inducible patients (both p<0.05). An infarct volume of >14% identified 11 of 12 patients with inducible VT (AUC 0.94, p=0.007). On electroanatomical mapping, distinct sites with isolated potentials (IPs) were more prevalent in inducible than noninducible patients (13.2% vs. 1.1% of points within scar; p<0.001). The number of inducible VTs correlated with the number of distinct sites with IPs (R=0.87, p<0.0001). Scar tissue in post-infarction patients with inducible VT shows quantitative and qualitative differences from scars in patients without inducible VT. Scar size and IPs are correlated with VT inducibility.
