Electroanatomic mapping of the right ventricle in a patient with a giant epsilon wave, ventricular tachycardia, and cardiac sarcoidosis

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract

A 47-year-old man presented with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia of right ventricular origin. Surface ECG recorded during sinus rhythm showed a bizarre "double QRS" pattern. Biventricular cardiomyopathy was found with predominant right ventricular involvement, due to cardiac sarcoidosis. Electroanatomic mapping was used to characterize the right ventricular substrate abnormalities and to decipher the specific activation abnormalities responsible for the ECG findings.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
