Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Idiopathic left ventricular (LV) tachycardia usually exhibits right bundle branch block morphology. There are only a few sporadic cases that exhibit left bundle branch block (LBBB) morphology. We report a patient whose QRS complex during ventricular tachycardia (VT) was relatively narrow (100 msec) and exhibited LBBB (precordial R wave transition between V3 and V4) and a normal frontal plane axis. This VT was ablated successfully by radiofrequency current applied to the LV upper septum, where the earliest endocardial activation was recorded. |
