INTRODUCTION
Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia typically has a right bundle branch block configuration. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate that idiopathic ventricular tachycardia arising in or near the left posterior fascicle also may have a left bundle branch block configuration.
METHODS AND RESULTS
A 27-year-old woman underwent an electrophysiologic procedure because of recurrent, verapamil-responsive, wide QRS complex tachycardia. Two types of ventricular tachycardia (cycle lengths 330 to 340 msec) were reproducibly inducible, one with a right bundle branch block configuration and left-axis deviation that had been documented clinically, and the other with a left bundle branch block configuration and axis of zero. A Purkinje potential recorded at the junction of the left ventricular mid-septum and inferior wall preceded the ventricular complex by 40 msec in both tachycardias. A single application of radiofrequency energy at this site successfully ablated both ventricular tachycardias.
CONCLUSION
The findings of this case report demonstrate that idiopathic ventricular tachycardia arising in or near the left posterior fascicle may have a left bundle branch block configuration.
