             Here is an actual macroscopic visualization of the AV node. This is such a crucial structure in the heart and has implications for the treatment of so many cardiac conditions. 
           How well do you know the cardiac anatomy around the AV node? ๐ค Learn with #JACC:  https://t.co/mZ5vgrOrk4

             We created DeEP substrate maps w/ extrastim pacing, and co-localized regions of decrement and uncovered split potentials to BZ channels on LGE-CMR. BZ channels w/ mid-myo involvement, greater complexity & exit sites had more decrement and uncovered splitting. 4/5

             Our current understanding of post-MI VT substrate derives heavily from completed MI model. We used a more contemporary reperfused MI swine model w/ 90min mid-LAD occlusion and studied scar with sequential LGE-CMR, @ADAS3D , functional substrate mapping & programmed stim. 2/5
