THE VALUE OF QRS’S AMPLITUDE IN INITIAL 40MS CALCULATED IN V2 LEAD (V2QRS I40) IN PREDICTING THE LOCATION OF THE OUTFLOW TRACT (OT) VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIA (VA)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to indicate the value of QRS’s amplitude in initial 40ms calculated in V2 Lead (V2QRS i40) in predicting the location of the outflow tract (OT) ventricular arrhythmia (VA). Methods: 84 patients with successful ablation in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) (n = 68) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) (n= 16) was. The amplitude of QRS in an initial 40 ms (V2QRS i40 ms) was calculated in EPS. Results: QRS i40 of identical precordial leads were not significantly different between RVOT and LVOT groups except V2QRSi40. V2QRSi40 exhibited the greatest area under the curve of 0.882, with a cut-off ≥ 0.535 mV predicting LVOT origin (sensitivity 87.5% and specificity 89.7%). V2QRSi 40ms outperformed the previous criteria including V2S/V3R and TZ index, but not over the V2 transition radio (AUC = 0.949). Conclusion: V2QRSi40 is a valued ECG criterion to predict OT-VA origin.
