OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the relation of diastolic and presystolic potentials recorded during verapamil-sensitive idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) to reentry circuit. BACKGROUND: Successful ablation of verapamil-sensitive ILVT at the zone of slow conduction from which the diastolic potential is recorded has been reported. However, the relationship between the diastolic potential and the reentrant circuit remains a matter of debate. METHODS: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation was performed in 20 patients with verapamil-sensitive ILVT. After identifying the ventricular tachycardia (VT) exit site, we searched for the mid-diastolic potential (P1) during VT. Entrainment followed by RF current application was performed. If the mid-diastolic potential could not be detected, RF current was applied at the VT exit site showing the earliest ventricular activation with a single fused presystolic Purkinje potential (P2). RESULTS: In 15 of 20 patients, both P1 and P2 were recorded during VT from midseptal region. Entrainment pacing captured P1 orthodromically and reset the VT. The interval from stimulus to P1 was prolonged as the pacing rate was increased. Radiofrequency ablation was successfully performed at this site in all 15 patients. After successful ablation, P1 appeared after the QRS complex during sinus rhythm with the identical sequence to that during VT. In the remaining five patients, the diastolic potential could not be detected, and a single fused P2 was recorded only at the VT exit site. Successful ablation was performed at this site in all five patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that P1 and P2 are critical potentials in a circuit of verapamil-sensitive ILVT and suggests the presence of a macroreentry circuit involving the normal Purkinje system and the abnormal Purkinje tissue with decremental property and verapamil-sensitivity. 相似文献

A low frequency slow potential preceding the Purkinje spike was recorded at the midseptum during tachycardia in a 69-year-old man with verapamil-sensitive left ventricular tachycardia. This potential was characteristically absent during sinus rhythm before radiofrequency ablation, but became evident following the QRS complex after successful ablation at the tachycardia exit site. Induction of tachycardia with programmed stimulation was dependent on emergence of this slow potential. Decremental conduction was noted between the QRS complex and the slow potential. Further energy application at a site proximal to where the slow potential was initially recorded totally eliminated the slow potential. 相似文献

Successful catheter ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) can be performed at the site of the earliest Purkinje potential or at the site with recording of diastolic and presystolic Purkinje potentials simultaneously during ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, these critical potentials might be difficult to be recorded and mapped in some patients during VT. It is rare to report the ablation of ILVT during sinus rhythm. We present a case with ILVT who received successful catheter ablation during sinus rhythm. 相似文献

A patient with episodes of palpitation in whom the electrocardiogram showed a right bundle branch (RBBB) configuration and right axis deviation underwent electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency ablation. Left ventricular endocardial mapping during ventricular tachycardia (VT) identified the earliest ventricular activation in the anterolateral wall of the left ventricle. The fused Purkinje potential was recorded at that site, and preceded the QRS complex by 47 mseg, with pace mapping showing an optimal match between the paced rhythm and the clinical VT. The stimulus to QRS time was equal to the Purkinje potential-QRS time. Several radiofrequency lesions were applied in this region, one of them resulted with termination of the tachycardia. Following delivery of this lesion the ventricular tachycardia couldn't be induced either at baseline or during isoproterenol infusion. During VT, atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were observed, cardioversion was performed reverting to sinus rhythm. 相似文献

Introduction: This is a rare case of antidromic reciprocating tachycardia developing 8 years after successful catheter ablation.
Result: A 15-year-old girl had recurrence of palpitations 8 years after the ablation of manifest right posteroseptal accessory pathway. Atrial burst pacing revealed Wenckebach atrioventricular conduction with preexcitation. Wide QRS tachycardia with identical morphology to sinus rhythm associated with retrograde His potential recorded immediately after the V-wave was induced by isoproterenol infusion. Atrial premature stimulus applied at the identical timing of His potential advanced the subsequent ventricular beat and His potential.
Conclusion: Catheter ablation may produce decremental accessory pathway conduction and rarely cause antidromic atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia. This may be explained by a presence of "de novo" accessory pathway with decremental conduction properties that became manifest after the first ablation. 相似文献

Idiopathic Left Ventricular Tachycardia. Introduction: Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia with a QRS pattern of right bundle branch block and left-axis deviation constitutes a rare but electrophysiologically distinct arrhythmia entity. The underlying mechanism of this tachycardia, however, is still a matter of controversy. This report describes findings in a 42-year-old man who underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia.
Methods and Results: On electrophysiologic study, the tachycardia was reproducibly induced and terminated with double ventricular extrastimuli. Intravenous verapamil terminated the tachycardia whereas adenosine did not. Detailed left ventricular catheter mapping during sinus rhythm revealed a fragmented delayed potential at the mid-apical region of the inferior site near the posterior fascicle of the left bundle branch. At the same site, continuous electrical activity throughout the entire cardiac cycle was recorded during ventricular tachycardia. Repeated spontaneous termination of this continuous electrical activity in late diastole was followed immediately by termination of the tachycardia. Single application of radiofrequency current for 20 seconds at this site completely abolished inducibility of the tachycardia. After catheter ablation, at the identical site of preablation recording of the fractionated potential during sinus rhythm, no fragmented delayed activity could be recorded. There was no complication from the ablation procedure.
Conclusion: The preablation recordings of fragmented delayed potentials during sinus rhythm and continuous diastolic electrical activity during tachycardia, together with ablation characteristics and previously reported electrophysiologic properties of this arrhythmia, may further support microreentry as the underlying mechanism in idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. 相似文献

Left Anterior Fascicular Tachycardia. Introduction: A 45-year-old man with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) having a right bundle branch block configuration with right-axis deviation underwent au electrophysiologic test.
Methods and Results: Mapping demonstrated a site on the auterobasal wall of the left ventricle where there was an excellent pace map and an endocardial activation time of -20 msec, hut radiofrequency catheter ablation at this site was unsuccessful. At a nearby site, a presumed Purkinje potential preceded the QRS complex by 30 msec during VT and sinus rhythm, and catheter ablation was effective despite a poor pace map and an endocardial ventricular activation time of zero.
Conclusion: Idiopathic VT with a right bundle branch configuration and right-axis deviation may originate in the area of the left anterior fascicle. A potential presumed to represent a Purkinje potential may he more helpful than endocardial ventricular activation mapping or pace mapping in guiding ablation of this type of VT. 相似文献

Appraisal of "Mahaim" automatic tachycardia 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A series of four patients with right-sided accessory pathways with long conducting times and decremental properties is reported. All patients underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation, and target areas were guided by a discrete "Mahaim" potential recorded at the lateral aspect of the tricuspid valve. A slow automatic and irregular rhythm with a QRS morphology similar to that of a fully preexcited QRS complex occurred during radiofrequency current delivery. The occurrence of so-called "Mahaim" automatic tachycardia heralded successful elimination of the accessory pathway in a manner similar to that of junctional automatic rhythm during slow pathway ablation in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. The observation of an automatic rhythm brought about during radiofrequency current ablation of a Mahaim-like accessory pathway is electrophysiologic evidence of the accessory AV nodal behavior of this structure. 相似文献

A 62 year-old-woman presented with a right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left axis deviation (LAD) tachycardia. Radiofrequency (RF) energy was delivered to the left posterior fascicle (LPF) where 2 presystolic Purkinje potentials (P1 and P2) preceding onset of the QRS complex were recorded. During RF energy applications, the QRS morphology of the tachycardia changed from RBBB and LAD to RBBB and right axis deviation without termination of the tachycardia. The Purkinje potential was observed following the QRS complex during the tachycardia because of conduction block of the LPF distal to the reentry circuit due to RF catheter ablation. 相似文献

An 82‐year‐old man underwent redo catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) after anterior infarction. A ripple mapping conducting channel (RMCC) was identified within the anterior scar in the left ventricular epicardium during sinus rhythm. Along the RMCC, delayed potentials during sinus rhythm, a good pace map with a long stimulus to the QRS interval, and mid‐diastolic potentials during VT were recorded, and epicardial ablation at this site eliminated the VT. These findings suggested that the RMCC in the epicardial scar served as a critical isthmus of the postinfarct VT, and ablation targeting the RMCC was effective. 相似文献

Verapamil-Sensitive Left Anterior Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardia: Results of Radiofrequency Ablation in Six Patients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Verapamil-Sensitive Left Anterior Fascicular VT. Introduction: Verapamil-sensitive left ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a right bundle branch block (RBBB) configuration and left-axis deviation bas been demonstrated to arise from the left posterior fascicle, and can be cured by catheter ablation guided by Purkinje potentials. Verapamil-sensitive VT with an RBBB configuration and right-axis deviation is rare, and may originate in the left anterior fascicle. Methods and Results: Six patients (five men and one woman, mean age 54 ± 15 years) with a history of sustained VT with an RBBB configuration and right-axis deviation underwent electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency (RF) ablation. VT was slowed and terminated by intravenous administration of verapamil in all six patients. Left ventricular endocardial mapping during VT identified the earliest ventricular activation in the anterolateral wall of the left ventricle in all patients. RF current delivered to this site suppressed the VT in three patients (ablation at the VT exit). The fused Purkinje potential was recorded at that site, and preceded the QRS complex by 35, 30, and 20 msec, with pace mapping showing an optimal match between the paced rhythm and the clinical VT. In the remaining three patients, RF catheter ablation at the site of the earliest ventricular activation was unsuccessful. In these three patients, Purkinje potential was recorded in the diastolic phase during VT at the mid-anterior left ventricular septum. The Purkinje potential preceded the QRS during VT by 66, 56, and 63 msec, and catheter ablation at these sites was successful (ablation at the zone of slow conduction). During 19 to 46 months of follow-up (mean 32 ± 9 months), one patient in the group of ablation at the VT exit bad sustained VT with a left bundle branch block configuration and an inferior axis, and one patient in the group of ablation at the zone of slow conduction experienced typical idiopathic VT with an RBBB configuration and left-axis deviation. Conclusion: Verapamil-sensitive VT with an RBBB configuration and right-axis deviation originates close to the anterior fascicle. RF catheter ablation can be performed successfully from the VT exit site or the zone of slow conduction where the Purkinje potential was recorded in the diastolic phase. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia with an inferior axis and left bundle branch block pattern typically originates from the superior right ventricular outflow tract. When indicated, radiofrequency catheter ablation is usually safe and effective. However, a left ventricular origin has been described recently in adult patients in whom ablation attempts in the right ventricular outflow tract were unsuccessful. Experience in pediatric patients is limited. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Since 1998, 13 young patients suffering from symptomatic ventricular tachycardia episodes with an inferior axis and left bundle branch block pattern underwent an electrophysiological study and radiofrequency catheter ablation. In 2 patients, age 13 and 15 years, no endocardial local electrograms preceding the surface ECG QRS complex could be recorded within the right ventricular outflow tract during ventricular ectopy. Detailed mapping within the left ventricular outflow tract and in the aortic root revealed local electrograms 25 and 53 ms earlier than the QRS complex and a 11/12 and 12/12 lead match during pacing inferior and anterior to the ostium of the left main coronary artery in the left aortic sinus cusp. Earliest activation was recorded 10 and 12 mm away from the coronary artery ostium identified angiographically. In each of the patients, one single radiofrequency current application (60 degrees C, 30 W, duration 30 and 60 s, respectively) resulted in complete cessation of ventricular ectopy. Subsequent selective injection into the left coronary artery did not reveal any abnormalities. During follow-up (2 and 34 months) off any antiarrhythmic drugs, both of the patients are in continuous normal sinus rhythm. CONCLUSION: In young patients with symptomatic idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from the left aortic sinus cusp, radiofrequency catheter ablation was safe and effective. 相似文献

A 54-year-old man with prior inferior myocardial infarction suffered from monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) with narrow
QRS complex of 120 ms. During VT, a fragmented prepotential preceding QRS onset by 30 ms at the right ventricular posterior
septum and a late diastolic potential preceding QRS onset by 70 ms at the infarcted posterior mitral annulus were recorded.
Radiofrequency energy delivered to the late diastolic potential at the posterior mitral annulus eliminated VT. During sinus
rhythm, the late diastolic potential shifted to the end of QRS complex and no Purkinje potentials were observed. Synchronized
excitation of both ventricles from the posterior infarcted mitral annulus in this patient may make the QRS width during VT
narrow, without involvement of the His-Purkinje system. 相似文献

Fractionated ventricular electrograms recorded during catheter mapping may arise from areas of asynchronous depolarization associated with slow conduction, the substrate for reentrant ventricular tachycardia, but can also be a nonspecific abnormality or even artifact. To determine whether fractionated sinus rhythm electrograms are associated with slow conduction in humans, the results of endocardial catheter mapping and pacing at 133 endocardial sites in 13 patients were analyzed. Eleven patients had sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and two patients had old myocardial infarction without ventricular tachycardia. Functional evidence of slow conduction at the recording site was assessed by pacing at that site and measuring the interval between the stimulus artifact (S) and the onset of the QRS complex in the 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG). During pacing at 89 of 90 sites without fractionated sinus rhythm electrograms, the S-QRS interval was less than 40 ms, a value consistent with rapid propagation of the stimulated wave front away from the pacing site. During pacing at 21 (49%) of 43 sites with fractionated sinus rhythm electrograms, the S-QRS interval was greater than 40 ms (range 40 to 140), consistent with slow conduction at the pacing site (p less than 0.001 versus nonfractionated sites). In 9 of the 11 patients with ventricular tachycardia analysis of the paced QRS configuration, electrograms during induced ventricular tachycardia or programmed stimulation during tachycardia suggested that a site with a long S-QRS interval during pacing was located at or near a ventricular tachycardia circuit. Therefore, fractionated sinus rhythm electrograms are often associated with slow conduction, which may be the substrate for reentrant ventricular tachycardia.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Other than bundle branch reentry and interfascicular reentry, monomorphic postmyocardial infarction (post-MI) reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) including the His-Purkinje system has not been reported. Verapamil-sensitive idiopathic left VT includes the left posterior Purkinje fibers but develops in patients without structural heart disease. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to describe a novel mechanism of reentrant VT arising from the left posterior Purkinje fibers in patients with a prior MI. METHODS: The study consisted of four patients with a prior MI and symptomatic heart failure who underwent electrophysiologic study and catheter ablation for VT showing right bundle branch block (n = 3) or atypical left bundle branch block (n = 1) morphology with superior axis. In two patients, the VT frequently emerged during the acute phase of MI and required emergency catheter ablation. RESULTS: Clinical VT was reproducibly induced by programmed stimulation. In three patients, both diastolic and presystolic Purkinje potentials were sequentially recorded along the left ventricular posterior septum during the VT, whereas in the fourth patient, only presystolic Purkinje potentials were observed. During entrainment pacing from the right atrium, diastolic Purkinje potentials were captured orthodromically and demonstrated decremental conduction properties, whereas presystolic Purkinje potentials were captured antidromically and appeared between the His and QRS complex. Radiofrequency energy delivered at the site exhibiting a Purkinje-QRS interval of 58 +/- 26 ms successfully eliminated the VTs without provoking any conduction disturbances. CONCLUSION: Reentrant monomorphic VT originating from the left posterior Purkinje fibers, which is analogous to idiopathic left VT, can develop in the acute or chronic phase of MI. Catheter ablation is highly effective in eliminating this VT without affecting left ventricular conduction. 相似文献

Objectives. We sought to determine whether endocardial late potentials during sinus rhythm are associated with reentry circuit sites during ventricular tachycardia (VT).Background. During sinus rhythm, slow conduction through an old infarct region may depolarize tissue after the end of the QRS complex. Such slow conduction regions can cause reentry.Methods. Endocardial catheter mapping and radiofrequency ablation were performed in 24 patients with VT late after myocardial infarction. We selected for analysis a total of 103 sites where the electrogram was recorded during sinus rhythm and, without moving the catheter, VT was initiated and radiofrequency current applied in an attempt to terminate VT.Results. Late potentials were present at 34 sites (33%). During pace mapping, the stimulus-QRS complex was longer at late potential sites, consistent with slow conduction, than at sites without late potentials (p < 0.0001). Late potentials were present at 15 (71%) of 21 sites classified as central or proximal in the reentry circuit based on entrainment, but also occurred frequently at bystander sites (13 [33%] of 39) and were often absent at the reentry circuit exit (3 [23%] of 13). Late potentials were present at 20 (54%) of 37 sites where ablation terminated VT, compared with 14 (21%) of 66 sites where ablation did not terminate VT (p = 0.004). Ablation decreased the amplitude of the late potentials present at sites where ablation terminated VT.Conclusions. Although sites with sinus rhythm late potentials often participate in VT reentry circuits, many reentry circuit sites do not have late potentials. Late potentials can also arise from bystander regions. Late potentials may help identify abnormal regions in sinus rhythm but cannot replace mapping during induced VT to guide ablation. 相似文献

This report describes a case of permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) that was ablated via the middle cardiac vein, guided by monophasic action potential recording. The patient was a 63-year-old woman who had been suffering from palpitation for 10 years. ECG during palpitation showed a narrow QRS tachycardia with a long RP interval. Electrophysiological study revealed that this tachycardia was an orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia, via an accessory pathway with a decremental property and a long ventriculoatrial interval (130 ms): PJRT. The earliest atrial activation during tachycardia was detected at the junction of the middle cardiac vein with the coronary sinus. Monophasic action potentials were recorded to confirm that the ablation catheter was in contact with the epicardium. 相似文献

Ventricular tachycardia masquerading as supraventricular tachycardia: A wolf in sheep''s clothing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It is generally assumed that if a wide QRS complex tachycardia has the same morphology on the 12-lead electrocardiogram as during sinus rhythm, the tachycardia is supraventricular. The author presents unique electrocardiographic data on four patients with QRS complex morphologies that are nearly identical during ventricular tachycardia and during sinus rhythm. The QRS complex duration during sinus rhythm was 140-180 msec and was the same as that of the tachycardia. The QRS complex morphology on the electrocardiogram was a right bundle branch block, left axis in three patients and right bundle branch block, normal axis in one patient. The mean ventricular tachycardia cycle length was 345 msec. The diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia was established by electrophysiologic testing in two patients and by atrial electrograms demonstrating AV dissociation in two patients. Thus, if the 12-lead electrocardiogram morphology of a wide QRS complex tachycardia is similar to that during sinus rhythm, it does not necessarily imply that the tachycardia is supraventricular. Ventricular tachycardia can occur with the same QRS complex morphology as occurs during sinus rhythm. 相似文献
