Areas of the left ventricle where VT's can originate from: The left ventricle is depicted as having been opened. Regions are defined as: AA = antero-apical; AB = antero-basal; AM = mid-anterior; SA = apical septum; SB = basal-septum; SM = mid-septum; PA = posterior apex; PB = postero-basal; PM = mid-posterior.. Adapted from Miller et al.[1]
The localisation of the origin (or exit site) of a ventricular tachycardia can be helpful in understanding the cause of the VT and is very helpful when planning an ablation procedure to treat a ventricular tachycardia.
Using this approach and the algorithms below [2] the exit site can be estimated with reasonable accuracy (PPV around 70%). In these algorhythms, bundle branch block was defined as “left” or “right” based on QRS morphology in lead V1; right bundle branch block (RBBB) pattern was defined by a mono-, bi-, or triphasic R wave or qR in V1; LBBB pattern was defined by a QS, rS, or qrS in V1.
