چکیده
A 74-year-old man with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a QRS morphology with a left bundle branch block and right inferior axis underwent electrophysiologic testing. Successful ablation was achieved at the right coronary cusp (RCC) where an excellent pace map with long stimulus-to-QRS interval (St-QRS) (85 ms) was obtained. An excellent pace map was also obtained on the epicardial surface approximately 1 cm away from the successful ablation site and the St-QRS was shorter (40 ms). These findings suggested that a myocardial fibre travelling from the origin in the RCC to the epicardium of the right ventricular outflow tract might exist.

Electrocardiographic characteristics can be useful in differentiating between right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and aortic sinus cusp (ASC) ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular arrhythmias originating from ASC, however, show preferential conduction to RVOT that may render the algorithms of electrocardiographic characteristics less reliable. Even though there are few reports describing vent...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the origin and breakout site of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the myocardium around the ventricular outflow tract. BACKGROUND The myocardial network around the ventricular outflow tract is not well known. METHODS We studied 70 patients with idi...

We present the case of a 45-year-old female with a normal heart, who exhibited an episode of a broad QRS tachycardia that was initially suggested to be sustained ventricular tachycardia. Coronary angiography showed the left main stem originating from the right aortic sinus with an interarterial course between aorta and right ventricular outflow tract. Electrophysiological study revealed the pre...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze different anatomic mapping approaches for successful ablation of outflow tract tachycardia with R/S transition in lead V(3). BACKGROUND Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia can originate from different areas in the outflow tract, including the right and left ventricular endocardium, the epicardium, the pulmonary artery, and the aortic sinus of Val...

OBJECTIVES To describe a normal heart left bundle branch block, inferior axis ventricular tachycardia (VT), that could not be ablated from the right or left ventricular outflow tracts. BACKGROUND Whether these VTs are epicardial and can be identified by a specific electrocardiographic pattern is unclear.
