    Area of Science:

    • Electrophysiology
    • Cardiovascular Research
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Complex atrial tachycardia (AT) involves repetitive atrial activation patterns (RAAPs) potentially linked to localized, targetable mechanisms.
    • Current electroanatomical mapping systems face limitations in spatial coverage and electrode density, hindering visualization of transient RAAPs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel technique for creating composite maps by stitching spatially overlapping conduction patterns.
    • To overcome the limitations of current mapping systems in visualizing transient RAAPs during complex AT.

    Main Methods:

    • Simulated stable mechanisms and meandering reentries were mapped using a grid (4x4, 3mm spacing).
    • A recurrence plot-based algorithm was employed to reconstruct mapped patterns to their original sizes.
    • An optimal mapping strategy involving overlapping recordings around reentry cores was determined.

    Main Results:

    • Reconstruction of single linear waves showed minimal errors in local activation time (LAT) and conduction direction.
    • Errors increased significantly for complex patterns, particularly unstable reentries.
    • Optimal mapping of meandering reentries yielded low errors in LAT, conduction direction, and core localization, weakly correlated with meander degree.

    Conclusions:

    • The feasibility of generating composite maps by stitching spatially overlapping recordings has been demonstrated.
    • Composite maps represent a significant advancement for visualizing complex atrial arrhythmias.
    • This technique holds promise for enabling personalized ablation strategies in treating atrial tachycardias.
