Abstract
This is a case of a 13-year-old male with frequent premature ventricular contractions with QRS configurations of the left superior axis and left bundle branch block, which originated from the posterior–superior process of the left ventricle. Premature ventricular contractions were successfully eliminated by delivering radiofrequency energy to the inferior wall of the right atrium without causing either junctional rhythm or atrioventricular block. Ventricular arrhythmias originating from this site have been sporadically reported in adults; however, this is the first report in a child.
期刊介绍:
Cardiology in the Young is devoted to cardiovascular issues affecting the young, and the older patient suffering the sequels of congenital heart disease, or other cardiac diseases acquired in childhood. The journal serves the interests of all professionals concerned with these topics. By design, the journal is international and multidisciplinary in its approach, and members of the editorial board take an active role in the its mission, helping to make it the essential journal in paediatric cardiology. All aspects of paediatric cardiology are covered within the journal. The content includes original articles, brief reports, editorials, reviews, and papers devoted to continuing professional development.
