Abstract
This study sought to demonstrate the prevalence, mechanism, and electrocardiographic and electrophysiological characteristics of upper septal idiopathic left fascicular ventricular tachycardia (US-ILVT). ILVT is classified into left anterior and posterior types with no clear data about US-ILVT. Among 193 ILVT patients, we identified 12 patients (6.2%; age 41 ± 22 years, 7 men) with US-ILVT. Of 12 patients with US-ILVT, 6 patients (50%) had previous history of radiofrequency catheter ablation for common ILVT. Sustained VT (cycle length: 349 ± 53 ms) was seen in all patients with a QRS interval slightly wider (104 ± 18 ms) than that during sinus rhythm (90 ± 19 ms). The VT exhibited an identical QRS configuration as sinus rhythm in 6 (50%) and incomplete right bundle branch block configuration in another 6. His-ventricular interval during VT was always shorter than that during sinus rhythm (27 ± 5 ms vs. 47 ± 10 ms). Purkinje potentials were activated in a reverse direction to that of common ILVT; namely, the diastolic potential (P1) was activated retrogradely but the pre-systolic potential (P2) was activated antegradely. At the left upper-middle ventricular septum, P1 potential was recorded during VT, preceding the QRS by 54 ± 2...Continue Reading
