Idiopathic Left Ventricular Tachycardia Originating in the Left Posterior Fascicle

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review

Abstract

Ventricular tachycardias originating from the Purkinje system are the most common type of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. The majority if not all of the reentrant circuit involved in this type of tachycardia is formed by the Purkinje fibres of the left bundle branch, particularly the left posterior fascicle. In general, slowly conducting Purkinje fibres (P1) form the antegrade limb, and normally conducting Purkinje fibres (P2) form the retrograde limb of the reentrant circuit of the ventricular tachycardia originating from the left posterior fascicle. Elimination of the critical Purkinje elements in the reentrant circuit is the route to successful ablation. While the reentrant circuit identified by activation mapping provides the roadmap to ablation targets, comparing the difference in the His-ventricular interval during sinus rhythm and tachycardia also helps to identify the critical site in the reentrant circuit.

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.
