ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY

Epicardial ablation of syncopal ventricular tachycardia. Utility of the electrocardiogram

Antonio Berruezo*, Lucas Cano, Lluis Mont and Josep Brugada

Arrhythmia Section, Thorax Institute, Hospital Clinic, Villarroel, 170, Barcelona 08036, Spain

We describe the case of a young man with syncopal ventricular tachycardia, normal left ventricular ejection fraction, normal coronary arteries, and a left ventricular aneurysm. The ECG during tachycardia suggested an epicardial origin. The arrhythmia was successfully treated using a non-surgical transthoracic epicardial approach.

Key Words: Ventricular tachycardia, Ablation, Epicardium, Radiofrequency
