BACKGROUND: Placing the left ventricular (LV) lead at a site of late electrical activation remote from scar is desired to improve cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to integrate coronary venous electroanatomic mapping (EAM) with delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DE-CMR) enabling LV lead guidance to the latest activated vein remote from scar.METHODS: Eighteen CRT candidates with focal scar on DE-CMR were prospectively included. DE-CMR images were semi-automatically analyzed. Coronary venous EAM was performed intraprocedurally and integrated with DE-CMR to guide LV lead placement in real time. Image integration accuracy and electrogram parameters were evaluated offline.RESULTS: Integration of EAM and DE-CMR was achieved using 8.9 +/- 2.8 anatomic landmarks and with accuracy of 4.7 +/- 1.1 mm (mean +/- SD). Maximal electrical delay ranged between 72 and 197ms (57%-113% of QRS duration) and was heterogeneously located among individuals. In 12 patients, the latest activated vein was located outside scar, and placing the LV lead in the latest activated vein remote from scar was accomplished in 10 patients and prohibited in 2 patients. In the other 6 patients, the latest activated vein was located in scar, and targeting alternative veins was considered. Unipolar voltages were on average lower in scar compared to nonscar (6.71 +/- 3.45 mV vs 8.18 +/- 4.02 mV [median +/- interquartile range), P
