Mapping-guided endocardial resection has proved to be an effective therapy for recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia. However, some patients cannot be mapped during ventricular tachycardia, so that guidance from findings during normal sinus rhythm would be highly desirable. The frequency, timing and duration of several abnormal types of electrograms recorded endocardially were examined during sinus rhythm and these findings were related to activation mapping during sustained ventricualr tachycardia. Patients (13) with extensive myocardial infarction complicated by recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia were studied intraoperatively during sinus rhythm and induced ventricular tachycardia with a standardized mapping scheme involving the entire endocardial surface. Fractionated electrograms (multicomponent with amplitude < 1 mV and duration > 50 ms) were recorded in all patients. This type of electrogram could be recorded at up to 36% of mapped sites. Split electrograms (2 components separated by isoelectric period) were also frequently seen but involved only a mean of 5.8% of mapped sites. Late electrograms (inscribed entirely after the QRS complex) were only recorded in 4 of 13 patients at a mean of 5% of mapped sites. The location of these electrograms was related to an arbitrary 8 cm2 zone around the earliest site to endocardial activation recorded during ventricular tachycardia. The longest fractionated electrogram was closely related to 9 of 22 morphologies of induced ventricular tachycardia, split electrograms were related to 7 of 16 morphologies, and late electrograms to 2 of 4 morphologies. Extremely abnormal electrograms recorded endocardially during sinus rhythm are widespread in patients with extensive myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular tachycardia. These electrograms may be associated with, but are not specific for, sites of origin of ventricular tachycardia. Surgical procedures based on sinus rhythm mapping of these electrogram types would likely result in more extensive surgical excision than those guided by endocardial activation during ventricular tachycardia.
