Abstract

Abstract: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) can originate from different anatomical locations of the right ventricle. Ventricular arrhythmias originating from right ventricle have unique electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics that can be utilized to localize the origin of the arrhythmia. This is crucial in pre-procedural planning particularly for ablation treatments. Moreover, non-ischaemic structural heart diseases, such as infiltrative and congenital heart diseases, are associated with the VAs that exhibit particular ECG findings. This article comprehensively reviews discriminatory ECG characteristics of VAs in the right ventricle with and without structural right ventricular diseases.
