“…Right bundle branch ventricular arrhythmias (RBB-VA) are rare arrhythmias with various clinical presentations and suboptimal responses to medical therapy. 1 Only sporadic case reports and small series have reported on catheter ablation of RBB-VA. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] A systematic analysis of electrophysiologic properties, conduction block, and catheter ablation of this rare arrhythmia is incomplete.…”
Three patients with RBB-VA were identified, one with PVC (No. 1), and two with accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) (No. 2 and 3) that were all symptomatic with palpitations and refractory to medical therapy. Patient No. 2 had reduced LVEF of 20% secondary to incessant RBB-VA.
QRS morphologies and HV intervalsQRS morphology (QRSm) and QRS duration (QRSd) of RBB-VA varied across all patients (Figures 1-3). AIVR demonstrated widely variable cycle lengths and was suppressed by atrial pacing. One AIVR was induced only with IV metoprolol (No. 3). HV intervals were within normal limits during sinus rhythm and varied during RBB-VA among the two patients with recordable HV intervals (No. 2 and 3).

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.
