Abstract

Optimal pace mapping is a good predictor of the appropriate ablation site for idiopathic right ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). We studied the relationship between the RVOT pacing site and QRS morphology in the 12-lead ECG during pacing to find the optimal site more quickly. In 13 patients with idiopathic VT, pacing at 8 sites in the RVOT (free wall, septum, and anterior and posterior regions of upper and lower sites) was performed while 12-lead ECGs were recorded. The R-wave amplitude minus the S-wave amplitude in lead I (RI-SI) and aVF (RavF-SavF) and the transitional zone index (TZI) were compared in the different pacing sites; TZI was defined to examine the transitional zone as a value. The RI-SI was smaller in the anterior region than in the other regions, and the negative RI-SI predicted that the pacing site was in the upper or lower anterior regions. The RavF-SavF was larger in the septum and anterior regions than in the free wall and posterior regions. The TZI was larger in the free wall region than in the septum. From the results, we constructed a flow chart that differentiates the origin of the arrhythmia in the RVOT and a directional guide that indicates the di...Continue Reading

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.

Aphasia

Aphasia affects the ability to process language, including formulation and comprehension of language and speech, as well as the ability to read or write. Here is the latest research on aphasia.

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.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
