摘要：

It is unclear whether the electrocardiogram amplitude in the inferior leads (Amp-I) can always predict the height of the origin of right ventricular outflow tract arrhythmias (RVOT-VAs). We analyzed patients who received catheter ablation of multiple RVOT-VAs in the same session in our hospital from 2011 to 2016. Two distinguished RVOT-VAs, those with anatomically higher origins (HOs) and lower origins (LOs), were identified and compared to measure the longitudinal distance. Amp-I was uniquely determined for each OTVA as the highest amplitude in leads II, III, and aVF and compared between the HO-VAs and LO-VAs. In total, out of 187 patients who underwent catheter ablation of RVOT-VAs, 9 (4.8%) had multiple right OTVAs successfully treated. Four cases (Group A) had HO-VAs (10.8 +/- 5.3mm from an LO) with a lower Amp-I (1.28 +/- 0.46mV) than the LO-VAs (1.81 +/- 0.59mV), whereas the other 4 patients (Group B) had HO-VAs with a higher Amp-I (1.91 +/- 0.23mV) than the LO-VAs (1.26 +/- 0.35mV). In Group A, all HO-VAs originated from the lateral free wall and had notched R waves in the inferior leads, whereas all LOs with higher Amp-Is were located on the septum. In one patient, the HO and LO were at almost the same height, while a VA from a lateral origin had lower notched R waves in the inferior leads. A divided excitation from high lateral origins may result in not only QRS notching, but also a reduction in the QRS amplitude. In patients harboring multiple RVOT-VAs, VAs arising from the high lateral free wall could have lower Amp-Is than VAs from low septal origins.
