Abstract:Introduction: Ultra-high-density mapping for ventricular tachycardia
(VT) is increasingly used. However, manual annotation of local abnormal
ventricular activities (LAVAs) is challenging in this setting.
Therefore, we assessed the accuracy of the automatic annotation of LAVAs
with the Lumipoint algorithm of the Rhythmia system (Boston Scientific).
Methods and Results: One hundred consecutive patients undergoing
catheter ablation of scar-related VT were studied. Areas with LAVAs and
ablation sites were manually… Show more
“…In this study, Nakatani et al 6 describe 100 patients with SHD ([ischemic n=75, non-ischemic n=25]) related VT undergoing electroanatomic mapping and CA, using the ultra-high-density Rhythmia system (Boston Scientific). The study aimed to determine if the Lumipoint algorithm is accurate in detecting LAVAs.…”

“…In summary, the study by Nakatani et al 6 offers an important insight into the potential utilisation of the automatic Lumipoint algorithm, for identifying regions of delayed conduction in the context of SHD related VT. Their findings suggest the retrospective use of Lumipoint can achieve an overall equivalence to the real time manual electrogram annotation of LAVAs. However, its accuracy is affected by wavefront direction and scar location, performing best during sinus rhythm for LV scar annotation.…”

“…Entrainment mapping is therefore required to determine the site of the critical isthmus. In summary, the study by Nakatani et al 6 offers an important insight into the potential utilization of the automatic Lumipoint algorithm, for identifying regions of delayed conduction in the context of SHD-related VT. Their findings suggest the retrospective use of Lumipoint can achieve an overall equivalence to the real-time manual electrogram annotation of LAVAs.
