ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) arising from different portions of the communicating vein of the left ventricular summit (summit-CV) are not a rare phenomenon. Whereas its electrocardiographic (ECG) and electrophysiological characteristics are not fully investigated.OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to identify distinct ECG and electrophysiological features of IVAs originating from different portions of summit-CV.METHODS:
Nineteen patients confirmed arising from summit-CV were included in this study.RESULTS:
The 19 patients were divided into proximal and distal portion groups based on their target sites in summit-CV. In the proximal portion group, 100% (11/11) VAs showed dominant negative (rs or QS) waves in lead I, while in the distal portion group, 87.5% (7/8) showed dominant positive waves (R, Rs or r) (p < 0.000). In lead V1, 100% (11/11) of the proximal portion group showed dominant positive waves (R or Rs), while 62.50% (5/8) of the distal portion group showed positive and negative bidirectional or negative waves (RS or rS) (p < 0.005). RI>4mV, SI<3.5mV, RV1<13mV, SV1>3.5mV, RI/SI>0.83, and RV1/SV1< 2.6 indicated a distal portion of summit-CV with the predictive value of 0.909, 1.000, 0.653, 0.972, 0.903, 0.966, respectively. A more positive wave in lead I and a more negative wave in lead V1 indicated more distal origin in summit-CV. Target sites in proximal and distal summit-CV groups showed similar electrophysiological characteristics during mapping.CONCLUSIONS:
There were significant differences in ECG characteristics of VAs at different portions of summit-CV, which could aid pre-procedure planning and facilitate radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) procedures.Palabras clave
