The R wave amplitude in lead I and the depth of the S wave amplitude in lead aVR of the standard surface ECG during OT-VT is significantly larger compared to the modified surface ECG. As the QRS morphology of the OT-VT is usually the first clue to the possible site of successful ablation, the standard 12-lead ECG should be used for more accurate localization of the origin of the OT-VT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
