Detailed comparison between the wall thickness and voltages in chronic myocardial infarction.

Although far-field voltages gradually increase with the WT, near-field does not. The three-dimensional-mapping system preferentially annotates the near-field components in thinner areas (center of the scar) and the far-field component in thicker areas when building a voltage map. Critical sites of VT are distributed in WT: 1 to 4 mm areas.
