Background: This study aimed to explore the electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) arising from epicardial and endocardial areas adjacent to mitral annual (MA). Methods: This study involved 283 patients with MA-VA who received radiofrequency catheter ablation at the center. The ECG characteristics of these patients were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The origin of MA-VA was judged based on the ECG variables. Among all MA-VAs, IDT > 77 ms or MDI > 0.505 predicted the VAs arising from epicardium (sensitivity of 70.20% and 73.51%, specificity of 94.70% and 82.58%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 93.81% and 82.84%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 73.53% and 73.15%). Among all epicardial MA-VAs, the RV1/RV2 ratio > 0.87 predicted the VAs originating from the epicardial anteroseptal wall adjacent to MA. It had sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 62.86%, 98.06%, 91.67%, and 88.60%, respectively. Among all endocardial MA-VAs, Q(q)R(r) morphology in lead V1 predicted the VAs arising from the endocardial septal wall adjacent to MA. It had sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 92.98%, 100%, 100%, and 94.94%, respectively. Among all endocardial septal MA-VAs, a predominant positive wave in lead II and a predominant negative wave in lead III predicted the VAs arising from the endocardial mid-septal portion adjacent to MA. It had sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of 86.04%, 100%, 100%, and 70.00%, respectively. Conclusion: ECG characteristics of VAs from the different sites adjacent to MA can judge the arrhythmia’s origin and design the ablation plan accordingly.
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.
