Abstract

Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) with left bundle-branch-block and inferior axis morphology (LBBB-IA), suggestive of outflow tract (OT) origin, are a challenge in sports medicine because they can be benign or expression of a silent cardiomyopathy. Non-invasive classification is essential to plan ablation strategy if required. We aimed to evaluating magnetocardiographic (MCG) discrimination of OT-VAs site of origin (SoO). MCG and ECG data of 26 sports activity practitioners, with OT-VAs were analyzed. OT-VAs-SoO was classified with discriminant analysis (DA) of 8 MCG parameters and with invasively-validated ECG algorithms. MCG inverse source-localization merged with magnetic resonance (CMR) provided three-dimensional electro-anatomical imaging (MCG 3D-EAI). ECG classification was univocal in 73%. MCG-DA differentiated right ventricular OT from aortic sinus cusp VAs, with 94.7% accuracy. MCG 3D-EAI confirmed OT-VAs-SoO in CMR images. In cases undergoing ablation, MCG 3D-EAI was confirmed by CARTO 3D-EAI. MCG-DA improves non-invasive classification of OT-VAs-SoO. Further comparison with interventional results is required.
