چکیده

Ventricular tachycardia is rare in children. In the absence of structural heart disease, ventricular tachycardia is known as idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and carries a good prognosis. We report a 14-month-old male child with right bundle branch block incessant ventricular tachycardia without structural heart disease. In this patient ventricular tachycardia was controlled by amiodarone and disappeared during follow-up. We want to stress the benign nature of this tachycardia if the previous treatment protocol had been appropriate.

Successful catheter ablation of focal ventricular tachycardia originating from right bundle branch without making right bundle branch block, using pharmacologic induction by landiolol

Introduction Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia is one of the most common ventricular tachycardia (VT) observed in young patients, accounting for 60%–80% of all idiopathic VTs. The QRS morphology of this tachycardia is left bundle branch block (LBBB) type, inferior axis, and wide QRS complex. In contrast, focal VT originating from the right bundle branch (RBB) is a rare idiopathic VT. ...

Ventricular tachycardia of right bundle-branch block--left axis deviation morphology and organic heart disease.

Most series of patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) of right bundle-branch block (RBBB)-left axis deviation (LAD) morphology include young individuals with no overt evidence of structural heart disease. In the present report, the clinical and electrophysiologic findings in two patients with verapamil-responsive VT and organic heart disease are described.

Transient entrainment of bundle-branch reentry by atrial and ventricular stimulation: elucidation of the tachycardia mechanism through analysis of the surface ECG.

BACKGROUND Different responses to entrainment have been reported in relation to the pacing site of a variety of tachycardias. However, transient entrainment of bundle-branch reentrant tachycardia (BBRT) has not been investigated systematically. METHODS AND RESULTS We attempted entrainment of 13 BBRTs in 9 patients by pacing first the right ventricle and then the right atrium. The initial paci...

Comparison of endocardial catheter mapping with intraoperative mapping of ventricular tachycardia.

To validate the accuracy of catheter endocardial mapping to localize the origin of ventricular tachycardia (VT), we compared cathether endocardial mapping with intraoperative epicardial and endocardial mapping of 24 morphologically distinct VTs in 18 patients undergoing surgery. Twelve had VT with left bundle branch block morphology and 12 had VT with right bundle branch block morphology. Cathe...
