Abstract:
Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias commonly originate from the right ventricular and left ventricular outflow tracts (OTs). Advances in real-time imaging have refined our understanding of the intimate anatomic structures implicated in the genesis of OT arrhythmias, making catheter ablation for arrhythmias beyond the right ventricular OT a feasible option for cure-indeed ablation is now a class I indication in recent guidelines. The surface 12-lead ECG is routinely used to localize the anatomic site of origin before catheter ablation. However, the intimate and complex anatomy of the OT limits predictive value ECG criteria alone for localization for these arrhythmias. Multiple ECG algorithms have been developed to assist preprocedural localization, and hence predict safety and efficacy for catheter ablation of OT ventricular arrhythmias. This review will summarize all of the published 12-lead ECG algorithms used to guide localization of OT ventricular arrhythmias.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism,...

The primary components of a normal ECG waveform in Normal sinus rhythm(NSR) include the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and occasionally a U wave.
ECG waveforms are divided by vertical and horizontal lines at standard intervals.
The horizontal axis measures time and rate, and the vertical axis measures amplitude or voltage....
