Electrogram signature of specific activation patterns: Analysis of atrial tachycardias at high-density endocardial mapping

Specific EGM characteristics in atrial tachycardia can be reproducibly linked to electrophysiological mechanisms. High-voltage and short-duration EGMs are associated with collision sites and PS that are unlikely to form critical sites for ablation; long-duration, low-voltage EGMs are associated with SC. However, not all SC regions will lie within the critical circuit and identification by only EGM characteristics cannot guide ablation.
