Convergent Double Coronary Sinus Potentials During Atrial Tachycardia

Abstract

The analysis of the patterns and timing of coronary sinus activation provides a rapid stratification of the most likely macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardias and points toward the likely origin of centrifugal ones by comparing the left atrial and coronary sinus activation sequence and morphology during sinus rhythm and atrial tachycardia. The analysis of both the near- and far-field electrogram morphology of atrial signals also gives important clues in determining the mechanism of the arrhythmia.
