We describe the case of a patient with long QT syndrome and recurrent ventricular fibrillation, triggered by premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) with a left bundle branch block pattern and inferior axis of the QRS. Activation mapping demonstrated the origin of the PVCs to be in the right ventricular outflow tract. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was successfully treated by catheter ablation of the triggering PVCs and there has been no recurrence of VF during a follow-up period of 14 months. 相似文献

Six patients presented with wide-complex tachycardias with QRS morphologies similar to those seen on their electrocardiograms that showed normal sinus rhythms. During normal sinus rhythm, each patient had an underlying intraventricular conduction abnormality or bundle branch block. Despite the similarity of the QRS complexes to those seen during sinus rhythm, the tachycardias subsequently proved to be ventricular in origin in each patient. It is important not to misdiagnose these disorders as supraventricular tachycardia as an erroneous diagnosis may result in inappropriate management. 相似文献

Right ventricular apical pacing (RVA) appears to have potential deleterious effects on myocardial systolic and diastolic left ventricular function, especially in patients with intact AV conduction. Therefore, new pacing sites in the right ventricle are being explored to overcome these detrimental effects. Alternative pacing sites in the right ventricle are the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and the right ventricular septum (RVS). In this case report, we demonstrate an exceptional form of ventricular fusion, namely normalisation of the QRS complex in a patient with pre-existing right bundle branch block by RVS pacing. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature where right ventricular pacing could restore a complete RBBB to a normal QRS complex by stimulating distally from the anatomical position of the RBBB, due to fusion between artificial right ventricular stimulation and intrinsic conduction over the left bundle of the specific His-Purkinje system. 相似文献

The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) of a 79-year-old male patient with recurrent pre-syncope showed irregular sinus rhythm with constant PR interval and left bundle branch block (LBBB) with intermittently blocked P waves. The beat following the blocked P wave had a narrower QRS with a shorter PR interval. The phenomenon of bilateral bundle branch block explains the sudden improvement in the atrioventricular conduction. 相似文献

Aberrant ventricular conduction is a rare phenomenon as compared with the more frequently occurring antrioventricular conduction disturbances. It leads to widening of the QRS complex, which is either due to a complete or functional block in one of the bundle branches or a block within the intramyocardial conduction system itself. Mechanisms that are potentially involved in the genesis of aberrant ventricular conduction are sudden shortening of cycle length (tachycardia-dependent phase III), antegrade block with retrograde concealed conduction, or bradycardia-dependent block (enhanced phase IV). In this paper, we present a patient with aberrant ventricular conduction with the occurrence of a tachycardia-dependent, as well as a bradycardia-dependent bundle branch block, which is an even rarer phenomenon. 相似文献

Fragment QRS (fQRS) complex is a myocardial conduction abnormality that indicates myocardial scar. It is defined as additional notches in the QRS complex. Though initially fQRS was defined in the setting of normal QRS duration (<120 m s), later it has been expanded to include conditions with wide QRS complexes as in bundle branch block, ventricular ectopy and paced rhythm, when more than 2 notches are present. It is an important, yet often overlooked marker of mortality and arrhythmic events in many cardiac diseases. The significance of fQRS lies in the fact that it just requires a surface ECG for its recording and the value of information about the condition of the heart it dispenses based on the clinical setting. We review the role of fQRS in predicting adverse cardiac events in various conditions. 相似文献

Observation of Coincident arrhythmias is not uncommon but the co-existence of idiopathic verapamil sensitive left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) with other arrhythmias is very rare. We hereby presented a 30 year old male patient with a history of frequent episodes of palpitations and sustained narrow complex tachycardia. During electrophysiologic study two arrhythmias, one with narrow complexes which was shown to be typical atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia and the other with wide QRS complexes and right bundle branch block and left axis morphology, compatible with ILVT, were inducible. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of both arrhythmias was done at two consecutive sessions. The patient has remained asymptomatic without antiarrhythmic therapy for the past six months. 相似文献

A 04-year-old boy was referred to our institution with severe, progressive heart failure of 4-months duration associated with a persistent wide QRS tachycardia with left bundle branch block and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Because of incessant wide QRS tachycardia refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs, he was referred for electrophysiological study. The ECG was suggestive of VT arising from the right ventricle near the His area. Electrophysiological study revealed that origin of tachycardia was septum of the right ventricle, near His bundle, however the procedure was not successful and an inadvertent complete atrioventricular conduction block occurred. The same ventricular tachycardia recurred. A second procedure was performed with a retrograd aortic approach to map the left side of the interventricular septum. The earliest endocardial site for ablation was localized in the anterobasal region of left ventricle near His bundle. In this location, one radiofrequency pulse interrupted VT and rendered it not inducible. The echocardiographic evaluation showed partial reversal of left ventricular function in the first 3 months. The diagnosis was idiopathic parahisian left ventricular tachycardia leading to a tachycardia mediated cardiomyopathy, an extremely rare clinical picture in children. 相似文献

Bundle branch reentrant (BBR) tachycardia is an uncommon form of ventricular tachycardia (VT) incorporating both bundle branches into the reentry circuit. The arrhythmia is usually seen in patients with an acquired heart disease and significant conduction system impairment, although patients with structurally normal heart have been described. Surface ECG in sinus rhythm (SR) characteristically shows intraventricular conduction defects. Patients typically present with presyncope, syncope or sudden death because of VT with fast rates frequently above 200 beats per minute. The QRS morphology during VT is a typical bundle branch block pattern, usually left bundle branch block, and may be identical to that in SR. Prolonged His-ventricular (H-V) interval in SR is found in the majority of patients with BBR VT, although some patients may have the H-V interval within normal limits. The diagnosis of BBR VT is based on electrophysiological findings and pacing maneuvers that prove participation of the His- Purkinje system in the tachycardia mechanism. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of a bundle branch can cure BBR VT and is currently regarded as the first line therapy. The technique of choice is ablation of the right bundle. The reported incidence of clinically significant conduction system impairment requiring implantation of a permanent pacemaker varies from 0% to 30%. Long-term outcome depends on the underlying cardiac disease. Patients with poor systolic left ventricular function are at risk of sudden death or death from progressive heart failure despite successful BBR VT ablation and should be considered for an implantable cardiovertor-defibrillator. 相似文献

The present case report describes a patient with dual chamber pacemaker whose surface ECG demonstrated paced right bundle branch block pattern suggesting a malpositioned ventricular lead in the left ventricle. However, diagnostic work-up revealed that the lead was appropriately located in the right ventricular apex. Diagnostic maneuvers and clues for differentiating safe right bundle branch block pattern during permanent pacing are thoroughly revisited and discussed within the article. 相似文献

Mahaim Fiber tachycardia characteristically causes a wide QRS tachycardia with left bundle branch morphology and left axis deviation, especially in young patients, having no structural heart disease. Mahaim fiber automaticity further cements the proposition of Mahaim fiber, due to its Atrioventricular (AV) node like property, being called as an ectopic AV node. 相似文献

Usually an electrocardiogram after right ventricular (RV) pacing should yield left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern. However, the presence of right bundle branch block (RBBB) pattern after pacemaker implantation should alert the physician to a malposition of lead. We report a case of 18-year-old female who underwent dual chamber pacemaker implantation and had RBBB pattern post implantation. Detailed evaluation revealed an uncomplicated right ventricular outflow tract pacing. The possible causes of this abnormal pattern after an uncomplicated RV pacing are also reviewed. 相似文献

Idiopathic fascicular ventricular tachycardia is an important cardiac arrhythmia with specific electrocardiographic features and therapeutic options. It is characterized by relatively narrow QRS complex and right bundle branch block pattern. The QRS axis depends on which fascicle is involved in the re-entry. Left axis deviation is noted with left posterior fascicular tachycardia and right axis deviation with left anterior fascicular tachycardia. A left septal fascicular tachycardia with normal axis has also been described. Fascicular tachycardia is usually seen in individuals without structural heart disease. Response to verapamil is an important feature of fascicular tachycardia. Rare instances of termination with intravenous adenosine have also been noted. A presystolic or diastolic potential preceding the QRS, presumed to originate from the Purkinje fibers can be recorded during sinus rhythm and ventricular tachycardia in many patients with fascicular tachycardia. This potential (P potential) has been used as a guide to catheter ablation. Prompt recognition of fascicular tachycardia especially in the emergency department is very important. It is one of the eminently ablatable ventricular tachycardias. Primary ablation has been reported to have a higher success, lesser procedure time and fluoroscopy time. 相似文献

Despite advances, cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) remains fundamentally orientated to the dyssynchrony of left bundle branch block (LBBB), in which septo-lateral electrical and mechanical delays predominate. For non-LBBB patients response rates to conventional CRT are lower and mortality and rehospitalisation rates are not reduced. Despite this, alternative approaches which tailor CRT to the differing dyssynchrony patterns of non-LBBB have yet to be developed. In the specific non-LBBB subgroup of right bundle branch block (RBBB) with left posterior fascicular block (LPFB), ventricular conduction via the left anterior fascicle results in a unique early lateral, and late septal depolarisation, or lateral to septal left ventricular (LV) delay, an electrical sequence which is followed mechanically. This latero-septal delay is somewhat the reverse of LBBB and was overcome by fusing right ventricular (RV) septal pacing with intrinsic conduction via the left anterior fascicle, achieving successful resynchronisation without implantation of a left ventricular lead. A stable fusion pattern was achieved via the ‘Negative AV Hysteresis with Search’ algorithm (Abbott, St Paul, Minnesota). Improvement in all standard CRT response indices was achieved at 3 months: QRS duration was reduced from 153 to 106 ms, ejection fraction increased from 14 to 32%, and LV end-systolic and end-diastolic diameters reduced by 19% and 12.5% respectively. NYHA class improved from III-IV to class II. Cardiac resynchronisation for RBBB with LPFB can be successfully achieved with a standard pacemaker or defibrillator without left ventricular lead implantation by fusing RV septal-only pacing with intrinsic conduction. 相似文献

We extracted and quantified high frequency intra-QRS signals in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). In IDC the analysis of late potentials in the terminal QRS complex often fails in predicting clinical events because of intraventricular conduction abnormalities and the absence of a circumscribed arrhythmogenic substrate. Therefore, new approaches are required to assess the electrical state of the myocardium. We investigated 21 patients suffering from IDC with (n = 14) and without (n = 7) bundle branch block. High resolution 31 lead magnetocardiograms were filtered with a 67 point 4th order Savitzky-Golay filter. The difference of the measured and filtered signals was calculated (67-200 Hz). The spatio-temporal properties and the areas under the curves of the resulting high frequency intra-QRS signals (IQCs) were studied. We detected IQCs in all patients. The patients had individual patterns regarding the temporal and spatial properties of the IQCs during depolarisation. The IQCs predominantly appeared in the initial portion of the QRS. The ratios of the areas under the curves of the IQCs and the measured signals were linearly correlated to the left ventricular enddiastolic diameter (r = 0.71, significance 0.0012). In IDC the ventricular depolarization is accompanied by individual spatial and temporal patterns of high frequency intra-QRS signals. They can be studied non-invasively from body surface mapping data with the algorithm used in this study. This provides access to the assessment of the electrical status in patients with IDC. 相似文献

AimTo evaluate whether left bundle branch block with residual conduction (rLBBB) is associated with worse outcomes after cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT).MethodsAll consecutive CRT implants at our institution between 2006 and 2013 were identified from our local device registry. Pre- and post-implant patient specific data were extracted from clinical records.ResultsA total of 690 CRT implants were identified during the study period. Prior to CRT, 52.2% of patients had true left bundle branch block (LBBB), 19.1% a pacing-induced LBBB (pLBBB), 11.2% a rLBBB, 0.8% a right bundle branch block (RBBB), and 16.5% had a nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD) electrocardiogram pattern. Mean age at implant was 67.5 years (standard deviation [SD] = 10.6), mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) was 25.7% (SD = 7.9%), and mean QRS duration was 158.4 ms (SD = 32 ms). After CRT, QRS duration was significantly reduced in the LBBB (p < 0.001), pLBBB (p < 0.001), rLBBB (p < 0.001), RBBB (p = 0.04), and IVCD groups (p = 0.03). LV EF significantly improved in the LBBB (p < 0.001), rLBBB (p = 0.002), and pLBBB (p < 0.001) groups, but the RBBB and IVCD groups showed no improvement. There was no significant difference in mortality between the LBBB and rLBBB groups. LV EF post-CRT, chronic kidney disease, hyperkalaemia, hypernatremia, and age at implant were significant predictors of mortality.ConclusionCRT in patients with rLBBB results in improved LV EF and similar mortality rates to CRT patients with complete LBBB. Predictors of mortality post-CRT include post-CRT LV EF, presence of CKD, hyperkalaemia, hypernatremia, and older age at implant. 相似文献

Purpose
Physiologic monitors are plagued with alarms that create a cacophony of sounds and visual alerts causing “alarm fatigue” which creates an unsafe patient environment because a life-threatening event may be missed in this milieu of sensory overload. Using a state-of-the-art technology acquisition infrastructure, all monitor data including 7 ECG leads, all pressure, SpO2, and respiration waveforms as well as user settings and alarms were stored on 461 adults treated in intensive care units. Using a well-defined alarm annotation protocol, nurse scientists with 95% inter-rater reliability annotated 12,671 arrhythmia alarms.Results
A total of 2,558,760 unique alarms occurred in the 31-day study period: arrhythmia, 1,154,201; parameter, 612,927; technical, 791,632. There were 381,560 audible alarms for an audible alarm burden of 187/bed/day. 88.8% of the 12,671 annotated arrhythmia alarms were false positives. Conditions causing excessive alarms included inappropriate alarm settings, persistent atrial fibrillation, and non-actionable events such as PVC''s and brief spikes in ST segments. Low amplitude QRS complexes in some, but not all available ECG leads caused undercounting and false arrhythmia alarms. Wide QRS complexes due to bundle branch block or ventricular pacemaker rhythm caused false alarms. 93% of the 168 true ventricular tachycardia alarms were not sustained long enough to warrant treatment.Discussion
The excessive number of physiologic monitor alarms is a complex interplay of inappropriate user settings, patient conditions, and algorithm deficiencies. Device solutions should focus on use of all available ECG leads to identify non-artifact leads and leads with adequate QRS amplitude. Devices should provide prompts to aide in more appropriate tailoring of alarm settings to individual patients. Atrial fibrillation alarms should be limited to new onset and termination of the arrhythmia and delays for ST-segment and other parameter alarms should be configurable. Because computer devices are more reliable than humans, an opportunity exists to improve physiologic monitoring and reduce alarm fatigue. 相似文献19.

Traditionally Right Ventricle has been the preferred site of pacing for the management of symptomatic brady-arrhythmias. The deleterious effect of chronic RV pacing has been shown by several studies. This has generated interest into a novel pacing strategy called physiological pacing wherein the His bundle or the left bundle is paced directly with 4.1 F pacing lead. Herewith we are reporting a case of congenital complete heart block in a 13-year-old child for whom selective left bundle branch pacing was done. This physiological pacing will ensure a synchronized contraction of the ventricles thereby avoiding the deleterious effect of RV pacing. 相似文献
