A: Preprocedure 12-lead electrocardiogram. B, C: Correlation pace map. Red areas indicate >98% match with premature ventricular contractions in posteroanterior and left anterior oblique views. D: QRS morphology match in the correlation map. E, F: Ablation map. Blue tags and circles show points of pulsed-field electroporation in the electroanatomical map and ultrasound images respectively in both posteroanterior and left anterior oblique views.
