Figures

FIGURE 1
FIGURE 1
Left side: 12 lead surface electrocardiogram (paper speed 100 mm/sec) and intracardiac electrocardiogram (ablation catheter and coronary sinus catheter) during ongoing arrhythmia. Cycle length is changing from beat to beat. The local activation recorded from the ablation catheter precedes the beginning of surface P wave with 51 ms indicating that this is the site of earliest activation (see red dot on the right side). Right side: activation map of the right atrium during ongoing atrial tachycardia (left lateral view). Small blue dots show the points where phrenic nerve stimulation was observed, big red dot shows the site of successful ablation. IVC indicates inferior vena cava; RAA, right atrial appendage; SVC, superior vena cava.
