AAD, anti-arrhythmic drugs; ACEI, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors; CCB-DHP, calcium channel blockers dihydropyridine class; EF, ejection fraction; ICMP, ischemic cardiomyopathy; LVEDD, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter; SNLV, structurally normal left ventricle; VT, ventricular tachycardia as an indication for the ablation procedure.
The row labeled “Multi-Electrode Catheter” summarizes the number (%) of patients that had APDR data collected using a multi-electrode catheter (either Pentaray 4-4-4; Biosense Webster or LiveWire; Abbott). Values in bold represent p-values less than 0.05 which is the cut-off for statistical significance. *Denotes p-values less than 0.05 which is the cut-off for statistical significance.
