Digitalis-induced bundle-branch ventricular tachycardia studied by electrode catheter recordings of the specialized conducting tissues of the dog.

چکیده
Electrode catheter recordings of the bundle of His (H), the right bundle branch (RB) and the left bundle branch (LB) were obtained in 15 dogs without thoracotomy during sinus rhythm and digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardia. During sinus rhythm an H-RB-LB sequence was recorded. This sequence was unchanged during atrial stimulation at rapid rates or during cardiac slowing by vagal stimulation. In 10 of 15 cases of digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardia the LB potential preceded the onset of ventricular depolarization (QRS), and an LB-H-RB sequence was recorded. These findings indicated that during ventricular tachycardia the pacemaker was located in the left bundle branch and the bundle of His was retrogradely depolarized. In 5 of 15 cases of digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardia the H, LB and RB potentials were recorded after the onset of ventricular depolarization. These findings suggested that the pacemaker was located in the Purkinje fibers.

Ventricular Tachycardia with Narrow QRS
gram. Tachyeardias originating in the left bundle branch and documented by right, left, and His bundle recordings have been produced in animals given excessive digitalis. We have noted a similar tachycardia in a patient with ischemic heart disease receiving digitalis during hypokalemia. The QRS complexes were 0.10 sec in duration and by contour suggested an ectopic focus located in the posterio...
متن کاملInfra-His bundle origin of bidirectional tachycardia.
A case of bidirectional tachycardia is presented in a patient with cardiomyopathy, pulmonary emboli, and digitalis toxicity. The arrhythmia has usually been considered ventricular in origin. A supraventricular origin has also been suggested. Simultaneous recordings of standard electrocardiographic leads and His bundle potentials demonstrated that the abnormal rhythm originated in the left ventr...

متن کاملOrigin of acetyl strophanthidin-induced ventricular arrhythmias.
To examine the origin of digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT), acetyl strophanthidin (AS) (25 mug/min) was perfused into a limited zone of myocardium in intact anesthetized dogs through a catheter placed fluoroscopically in the left anterior descending artery without ischemia. A second catheter in the great cardiac vein sampled venous effluent from this region. His and left bundle bra...
متن کاملHis bundle electrocardiography during bidirectional tachycardia.
His bundle electrocardiography in a patient with a digitalis-induced bidirectional tachycardia revealed absence of His spike preceding earliest onset of ventricular activation during the bidirectional tachycardia. However, His potential preceded ventricular activation of normal complexes at a constant H-V interval of 35 msec. The presence of fusion QRS complexes, capture QRS complexes, the anal...
