Figure 1
A: Twelve-lead electrocardiogram showing a regular narrow complex supraventricular tachycardia suggests a focal ectopic origin of the P wave. B–D: Identification of an ectopic focus triggering on the zone between the left atrial appendage and the left superior pulmonary vein. The period between the first signal on the ablation catheter (ABL-d) and the onset of the P wave is 44 ms, suggesting the focal ectopic origin of the tachycardia. E and F: The end of the ectopic focal atrial tachycardia after applying a pulse of radiofrequency and the return to sinus rhythm. G: Electroanatomic mapping of the ectopic focus and its relationship with the electrical signals.
