An Anatomic Concept Relevant to Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmias
نویسندگان
چکیده
Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the left ventricle (LV) are often accessible for catheter ablation from the aortic sinuses of Valsalva or adjacent to the mitral annulus (MA).1 The aortic and mitral valves are direct apposition and attach to an elliptical opening at the base of the LV known as the LV ostium.2 The VAs arising from this region are being increasingly recognized as targets for catheter ablation.3–7 This review describes the anatomic features of the LV ostium and the electrocardiographic, electrophysiological, and angiographic characteristics that are relevant to the mapping and ablation of these arrhythmias.

متن کاملEfficacy of an Anatomical Approach in Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmias Originating From the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract.
BACKGROUND When anatomic obstacles preclude radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), an alternative approach from the anatomically opposite side (endocardial versus epicardial or above versus below the aortic valve) may be considered (anatomic ablation). The purpose of this study was to investigate t...
متن کاملArrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...
متن کاملAn Appraisal about the Etiopathogenesis of the So-Called Idiopathic Cardiac Arrhythmias
Certain arrhythmias are observed in healthy relatively young individuals without evidence of structural heart disease, and mostly asymptomatic that fall under the generic term of “idiopathic” to describe various forms of ventricular arrhythmias from isolated premature beats (VPBSs) to sustained tachycardia. So far, the term idiopathic arrhythmias has only be applied to ventricular arrhythmias, ...
متن کاملIntramural idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias originating in the intraventricular septum: mapping and ablation.
BACKGROUND Intramural septal idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias have not been described systematically. METHODS AND RESULTS In a consecutive group of 93 patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias referred for ablation, the site of origin of ventricular arrhythmias was assessed by activation mapping and pace-mapping. In 7 of 93 patients (8%), an intramural focus in the interventricular s...
