Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Tachycardia with Structural Abnormalities of the Right Ventricle and Left Ventricular Diverticulum
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 43-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with a sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). ECG showed a QRS in left bundle branch block morphology with inferior axis. Echocardiography, ventricular angiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) revealed a normal right ventricle and a left ventricular diverticulum. Electrophysiology studies with epicardial voltage mapping identified a large fibrotic area in the inferolateral layer of the right ventricular wall and a small area of fibrotic tissue at the anterior right ventricular outflow tract. VT ablation was successfully performed with combined epicardial and endocardial approaches.

ustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is most often related to myocardial structural heart disease, including a healed myocardial infarction, and cardiomyopathies. However, no apparent structural abnormalities are identified in approximately 10% of all cases of sustained monomorphic VT in the United States1 and in 20% of those in Japan.2 These cases of VT are referred to as “idiopat...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C): a multidisciplinary study: design and protocol.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a relatively newly recognized disease. A clinical profile of patients with this condition was first published in 1982.1 In that report, it was observed that the majority of patients were male. Patients presented with ventricular tachycardia of left bundle-branch block morphology. An enlarged right ventricle due to fibrofatty ...
متن کاملArrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a heart muscle disease clinically characterized by life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Its prevalence has been estimated to vary from 1:2,500 to 1:5,000. ARVC/D is a major cause of sudden death in the young and athletes. The pathology consists of a genetically determined dystrophy of the right ventricular myocardium wit...
متن کاملAdenosine-sensitive ventricular tachycardia from the anterobasal left ventricle.
OBJECTIVES This study demonstrates that exercise-provocable tachycardia resembling right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia may originate from the anterobasal left ventricle. BACKGROUND Reentry is the operative mechanism of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, with a QRS complex of right bundle branch block and superior axis that is responsive to verapamil but not adenosine. Whether so...

Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether CARTO mapping is feasible in the right ventricle and assess its utility in guiding ablation of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ventricualr tachycardia (VT). Background In patients with RVOT VT; CARTO mapping permits ablation guided by a VT complex, which may facilitate ablation of VT cases. However, the mapping system may be geomet...
