Figure 5. Current delivery within the scar can excite the surrounding myocardium.
(A) Brightfield image of LV free wall showing placement of suction electrode and location of scar. Bar = 1 mm. (B) Activation map obtained during sinus rhythm. (C) Activation map obtained when the heart was paced with a suction electrode positioned within the scar (white circle). White arrow points to the site of earliest activation. Black arrows indicate the direction of propagation. Isochronal lines are drawn every 1 ms.
