Limitation of standard ECG criteria to localize an outflow tract PVC

Granit Veseli et al. J Electrocardiol. 2021 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Multiple ECG algorithms exist to localize outflow tract PVCs. They can be invaluable in pre-procedure planning and patient counseling. We describe a case where the published algorithm for PVC localization did not predict the site of origin and successful ablation site. This case highlights the strengths and limitations of established ECG PVC localization algorithms.

Keywords: Electrocardiogram (ECG); Outflow tract PVC; Radiofrequency ablation.
