Usefulness of a ventricular extrastimulus from the summit of the ventricular septum in diagnosis of septal accessory pathway in patients with supraventricular tachycardia

To compare usefulness of a ventricular extrastimulus (VES) from the right ventricular (RV) apex versus the RV septum in patients with a septal accessory pathway (AP), VES was applied from the RV apex and the summit of the RV septum in patients with septal APs. A VES from the RV apex and from the sum...

Zusammenfassung:	To compare usefulness of a ventricular extrastimulus (VES) from the right ventricular (RV) apex versus the RV septum in patients with a septal accessory pathway (AP), VES was applied from the RV apex and the summit of the RV septum in patients with septal APs. A VES from the RV apex and from the summit was diagnostic of the presence of an AP in 13 of 28 patients (83%) and in 10 of 12 patients, respectively (46% p
