Omnipolar technology (OT) was recently proposed to generate electroanatomic voltage maps with orientation-independent electrograms. We describe the first cohort of patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation guided by OT. The purpose of this study was to compare omnipolar and bipolar high-density maps with regard to voltage amplitude, late potential (LP) annotation, and isochronal late activation mapping distribution. A total of 24 patients (16 [66%] ischemic cardiomyopathy and 12 [50%] redo cases) underwent VT ablation under OT guidance. Twenty-seven sinus rhythm substrate maps and 10 VT activation maps were analyzed. Omnipolar and bipolar (HD Wave Solution algorithm, Abbott, Abbott Park, IL) voltages were compared. Areas of LPs were correlated with the VT isthmus areas, and late electrogram misannotation was evaluated. Deceleration zones based on isochronal late activation maps were analyzed by 2 blinded operators and compared to the VT isthmuses. OT maps had higher point density (13.8 points/cm vs 8.0 points/cm). Omnipolar points had 7.1% higher voltages than bipolar points within areas of dense scar and border zone. The number of misannotated points was significantly lower for OT maps (6.8% vs 21.9%; P = .01), showing comparable sensitivity (53% vs 59%) but higher specificity (79% vs 63%). The sensitivity and specificity of detection of the VT isthmus in the deceleration zones were, respectively, 75% and 65% for OT and 35% and 55% for bipolar mapping. At 8.4 months, 71% freedom from VT recurrence was achieved. OT is a valuable tool for guiding VT ablation, providing more accurate identification of LPs and isochronal crowding due to slightly higher voltages.Read less <
