Aims Methods Results The highest regional matching between LA-LVS <0.5mV and LA-LGE was found for the anterior wall in 57% of patients using the Utah-method and in 59% using IIR 1.20. The corresponding values for the posterior wall were 19% and 38%, respectively. Arrhythmia recurrence occurred in 15 (41%) patients. Freedom from arrhythmia was significantly lower in those with relevant LA-LVS (≥2cm2 at 0.5mV) but not in those with relevant LGE (Utah-stages III&IV): 43% versus 81%, p=0.009 and 50% versus 67%, p=0.338, respectively. Furthermore, relevant LA-LVS was the only predictor for arrhythmia recurrence in multivariate regression analysis. Conclusion |
