Abstract:
The ECG of a patient during sinus rhythm shows preexcited QRS pattern, with rS pattern in lead V1, transition in lead V2, and positive inferior leads. Following the stepwise algorithms, the location of accessory pathway (AP) was identified at anteroseptal region. However, the precordial transition in lead V2 indicates mid-septal or posteroseptal AP. The mismatch suggested multiple APs and 5 APs were identified by electrophysiologic study. This case highlights the importance of detailed analysis of ECG in order to achieve adequate ablation.
