QRS complex maximum deflection index in aortic cusp premature ventricular complexes

•We reviewed 185 PVC catheter ablation cases and identified 17 in which PVCs were successfully ablated in the aortic cusps.•The MDI measured 0.53 ± 0.10 (median 0.50, IQR 0.47-0.60).•In all (100%) cases MDI was > 0.40 and in 7 (41%) cases it was > 0.55.•Pseudo-delta wave was absent in all but one PVC•PVC origin in the aortic cusps should be considered along with the epicardium when MDI is in th...

Epicardial Conduction Properties and Electrocardiographic Characteristics of Premature Ventricular Complexes or Ventricular Tachycardias That Originate at the Aortic Cusp

Background and Objectives: Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) that originates from the aortic cusp (AC) has a similar left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern with a inferior axis as those LBBB patterns originating from the right ventricular outflow tract, but the electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristics are distinct. We sought to characterize the ECG morpholo...

Ventricular premature complexes in prognosis of angina.

We studied the prognostic role of ventricular premature complexes occurring during 1 hour of electrocardiographic monitoring of 416 men with effort angina who had never had myocardial infarction, and compared mortality over 5 years with that of 1739 men with infarction before first observation. Multivariate analyses of survival identified the presence of ventricular premature complexes in 1 hou...
