Spatial orientation of the reentrant circuit of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia.
In 6 patients with idiopathic left ventricular VT, the spatial orientation of the reentrant circuit was estimated from the results of transient entrainment of VT with rapid pacing at different sites. The entrance to the area of slow conduction was located toward the outflow tract, whereas the exist was located at the apicoposterior area of the left interventricular septum.
