Abstract

A computerized three dimensional (3-D) ventricular electrical activation mapping system has been established in the authors´ laboratory. Two types of intramural figure eight reentry were found in induced monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in a canine model of subacute myocardial infarction
