We introduce composite maps—a novel algorithm for visualizing atrial conduction activity, with a focus on #AFib. 💻🔬

Patient with moderate to severe atrial cardiomyopathy…
(See #EHRA_ESC consensus statement:

- LA dilatation
- Left atrial tachycardia and “pre-AF” (short runs of irregular atrial activation)
- low voltage areas anterior/septal
First:
Ablation of the focal atrial tachycardia (one application of focal PFA (Galaxy/Cardiofocus, 25A) -> non-inducible
Second:
WACA and anterior line (to prevent atypical flutter as a result of ATach and to prevent the progression to clinical #AFib) -> first pass.
True advantage of combining powerful focal monopolar biphasic PFA with state of the art mapping systems!

[3/3]‼️A considerable interpatient variability in optimal IIR thresholds introduces an underrecognized clinical challenge!
A 'one-size-fits-all' IIR threshold may not be feasible as it could lead to overestimation or ablation scars in some patients and underestimation in others.
[2/3] Bipolar voltage maps were compared with IIR.
ROC analyses were employed to determine the optimal IIR threshold for LA ablation scar (≤0.15 mV).
Median optimal IIR threshold was 1.09, with an average sensitivity of 0.73, specificity of 0.75, and accuracy of 0.71.
📢 Excited to share our latest paper! 📰 We used detailed in-silico models of atrial fibrillation to develop and test a novel mapping strategy focusing on finding functional targets for ablation beyond PVI

🆕📰Our algorithm can automatically and reliably align pre-procedural cardiac images (CT/MRI) with anatomies acquired during ablation procedures.
This enables multi-modal characterization of the LA🫀

🆕📰 Online now!
Our study reveals that the supine-standing test does not outperform a baseline QTc in diagnosing LQTS.
However, it may still have value in arrhythmia risk assessment within individual patients.

New paper! Composite Mapping of Repetitive Atrial Activation Patterns during #AF by @ozanozgul ESR5 of the consortium, et al.
This paper emphasizes the potential of composite maps in analyzing RAAPs, highlighting the role they play guiding ablation procedures for #AF management.
