While algorithms for bipolar intraventricular electrogram analysis have potential use in complementing rate criteria for ventricular tachycardia (VT) detection by implantable antitachycardia devices, the sensitivity of such algorithms to the intracavitary site of electrogram detection has not been determined. In this study, unfiltered (1-500 Hz) electrograms were recorded from a bipolar electrode catheter initially positioned at the right ventricular (RV) apex (site 1) of 12 patients during sinus rhythm (SR1) and during induced monomorphic VT (VT1). Sinus rhythm (SR2) and the identical VT (VT2) were recorded a second time after repositioning the same electrode catheter within the RV apex (site 2) 7-44 mm (mean +/- SD = 15 +/- 10) from its original site. The data were digitized at 1,000 Hz. Templates from SR1 and SR2, respectively, were compared subsequently with individual intraventricular electrograms from 15-25 sec passages of SR1 and VT1 and SR2 and VT2, respectively, using correlation waveform analysis. At site 1, the mean patient correlation coefficient ranged from 0.982-0.998 during SR1 and 0.062-0.975 during VT1. At site 2, the mean patient correlation coefficient ranged from 0.995-0.998 during SR2 and 0.113-0.983 during VT2. Using a correlation threshold of 0.9, VT was differentiated from SR in 11/12 patients (91%) overall: 8/12 patients (67%) at site 1, 9/12 patients (75%) at site 2, and 6/12 patients (50%) at both sites. Thus, while discrimination of VT from SR is feasible with morphological analysis of bipolar right ventricular intracavitary electrograms, the accuracy of bipolar intraventricular electrogram analysis may depend upon intracavitary electrode location in selected patients.
