Ortiz, MD, PhD, Guillermina Fita, MD, PhD, Marta Sitges, MD, PhD, Josep Brugada, MD, PhD, Lluis Mont, MD, PhD, Antonio Berruezo, MD, PhD  Heart Rhythm  Volume 13, Issue 1, Pages (January 2016) DOI: /j.hrthm Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Infarct transmurality criteria for anterior myocardial infarction. A: Magnetic resonance images showing an apical left ventricular aneurysm and a transmural anteroseptoapical myocardial hyperenhancement (yellow arrow). B: Echocardiography: 4-chamber view showing an aneurismatic left ventricle and apical wall thinning. C: Electroanatomic bipolar maps (left anterior oblique views) of endocardial and epicardial left ventricular surface, showing low-voltage areas in segments that exhibited transmurality criteria in both contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography. Electrograms with sequential activation pattern can be observed in the endocardium and epicardium. LVa = left ventricular apex.

3 Figure 2 Infarct transmurality criteria for inferoposterior myocardial infarction. A: Magnetic resonance images showing a transmural inferoposterior myocardial hyperenhancement (yellow arrows). B: Computed tomography showing basal inferoposterior wall thinning. C: Electroanatomic bipolar maps (left anterior oblique views) of endocardial and epicardial left ventricular surface, showing low-voltage areas in segments that exhibited transmurality criteria in both contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Electrograms with sequential activation pattern can be observed in the endocardium and epicardium. Heart Rhythm  , 85-95DOI: ( /j.hrthm ) Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 Kaplan-Meier curve for the end point of ventricular tachycardia recurrence according to infarct transmurality and type of approach. Group 1 = patients with subendocardial infarction and endocardial approach; Group 2 = patients with transmural infarction and endo-epicardial approach; Group 3 = patients with transmural infarction and endocardial approach; VT = ventricular tachycardia.
