1.11 Localizing the Origin of VT and PVCs

In this episode, we go over how to localize the origin of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). What clues on ECG allow you to distinguish VT coming from outflow tracts vs the inferior ventricles? What clues on ECG allow you to distinguish VT arising from the LV free wall vs VT arising from the RV or inter-ventricular septum? Which types of VT have the highest procedural success rates with ablation? Which type of VT is verapamil-sensitive, and which is propranolol-sensitive? Can individuals with PVCs participate in competitive sports? Tune in for answers to these questions.
