Implication
Supports microreentry mechanism in idiopathic LV tachycardia; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.
Structured PICO
P
Population
42-year-old man with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (QRS pattern of right bundle branch block and left-axis deviation), n=1.
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (single application for 20 seconds at the mid-apical region of the inferior site near the posterior fascicle of the left bundle branch).
O
Outcome
Abolition of tachycardia inducibilitysurrogate
Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully treated idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, with electrophysiologic findings supporting microreentry as the underlying mechanism.
