Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background Papillary muscles are an important source of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Yet little is known about the role of the right ventricular (RV) endocavity structure, the moderator band (MB). The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the MB that may predispose to arrhythmia substrates. Methods Ventricular wedge preparations with intact MBs were studied from humans (n=2) and sheep (n=15; 40–50 kg). RV endocardium was optically mapped, and electrical recordings were measured along the MB and septum. S1S2 pacing of the RV free wall, MB, or combined S1-RV S2-MB sites were assessed. Human (n=2) and sheep (n=4) MB tissue constituents were assessed histologically. Results The MB structure was remarkably organized as 2 excitable, yet uncoupled compartments of myocardium and Purkinje. In humans, action potential duration heterogeneity between MB and RV myocardium was found (324.6±12.0 versus 364.0±8.4 ms; P
