LAO caudal view, showing the CTI. Panel A shows the areas of high voltage encircled in black. Panel B displays the prominent EGMs in those high voltage areas. Panel C shows the areas of slow wave speed encircled in white. Panel D displays the fractionated EGMs in those low wave speed areas. Paned E shows all the previous areas and highlights confluent sites encircled in green
