Abstract

Left ventricular (LV) outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias (OTVA) are associated with hypertension (HT), older age, and LV dysfunction, suggesting that LV overload plays a role in the aetiopathogenesis. We hypothesized that anatomical modifications of the LV outflow tract (LVOT) could predict left vs. right OTVA site of origin (SOO). Fifty-six (32 men, 53 ± 18 years old) consecutive patients referred for OTVA ablation were included. Cardiac multidetector computed tomography was performed before ablation and then imported to the CARTO system to aid the mapping and ablation procedure. Anatomical characteristics of the aortic root as well as aortopulmonary valvular planar angulation (APVPA) were analysed. The LV was the OTVA SOO (LVOT-VA) in 32 (57%) patients. These patients were more frequently male (78% vs. 22%, P = 0.001), older (57 ± 18 vs. 47 ± 18 years, P = 0.055), and more likely to have HT (59% vs. 21%, P = 0.004), compared to right OTVA patients. Aortopulmonary valvular planar angulation was higher in LVOT-VA patients (68 ± 5° vs. 55 ± 6°, respectively; P < 0.001). Absolute size of all aortic root diameters was associated with LVOT origin. However, after indexing by body surface area, only sinotubular junction diameter m...Continue Reading

Cardiac Remodeling

Cardiac remodeling in response to a myocardial infarction is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation, cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and deterioration of cardiac performance. Discover the latest research on Cardiac Remodeling here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

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.
