Summary: | Aim
The correct estimation of the VA origin as RVOT or LVOT results in reduced ablation duration reduced radiation exposure and decreased number of vascular access. In our study, we aimed to detect the predictive value of S‐R difference in V1‐V2 for differentiating the left from right ventricular outflow tract arrhythmias.
Methods
We included 123 patients with symptomatic frequent premature ventricular outflow tract contractions who underwent successful catheter ablation (70 male, 53 female; mean age 46.2 ± 13.9 years, 61 RVOT, 62 LVOT origins). S‐R difference in V1‐V2 was calculated with this formula on the 12‐lead surface ECG: (V1S + V2S) – (V1R + V2R). Conventional ablation was performed in 101 (82.1%) patients, CARTO electroanatomic mapping system was used in 22 (17.9%) patients.
Results
V1‐2 SRd was found to be significantly lower for LVOT origins than RVOT origins (p |
