METHODS: The ECGs from patients who underwent ablation of a left-sided AP between 2001 and 2008 were evaluated for the relationship of QRS amplitudes in limb leads II and III. A LAL-AP was defined by successful ablation between 12 and 3 o'clock on the MA, as seen in left anterior oblique (LAO) fluoroscopic projection. A LPL-AP was defined by successful ablation between 3 and 6 o'clock in the LAO projection. RESULTS: In 249 consecutive patients undergoing AP ablation, 23 met the prespecified inclusion criteria: manifest preexcitation due to single AP, ablated successfully in a LAL or LPL location. The ratio of dominant QRS amplitude in lead II to lead III was ≥ 1 in 10/11 patients with LAL-AP, compared with 3/12 patients with a LPL-AP (P = 0.002). Using these criteria, two blinded reviewers predicted a LAL or LPL location with 87% accuracy and 100% interobserver agreement. CONCLUSIONS: We report new ECG criteria that can be used to accurately predict the anterior and posterior location of a left lateral AP. Such localization may facilitate procedural planning. |
