Algorithms for locating accessory pathways: How far should we trust?
Algorithms for locating accessory pathways (APs) are widely used in planning catheter ablation for patients with ventricular preexcitation. These algorithms typically rely on characteristics of the delta wave and QRS complex to predict AP location.
However, factors such as anatomical variations, age, the presence of multiple APs, and patient biotype can lead to inaccuracies.
We present the case of a patient with ventricular preexcitation but no comorbidities, whose electrocardiogram (ECG) suggested an AP location entirely different from that predicted by standard algorithms. This discrepancy led to a change in the catheter ablation strategy, which was successfully performed via a retrograde aortic approach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electrocardiology is devoted exclusively to clinical and experimental studies of the electrical activities of the heart. It seeks to contribute significantly to the accuracy of diagnosis and prognosis and the effective treatment, prevention, or delay of heart disease. Editorial contents include electrocardiography, vectorcardiography, arrhythmias, membrane action potential, cardiac pacing, monitoring defibrillation, instrumentation, drug effects, and computer applications.
