Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe a patient with frequent, symptomatic, and drug-refractory premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) with a right bundle branch block, inferior axis morphology suggestive of a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) origin. Successful ablation of the PVCs was performed from the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve. We discuss our patient and review the literature regarding patients with ventricular arrhythmias arising from the coronary cusps, with special emphasis on the use of the electrocardiogram to aid localization of the focus. |
