Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch block and left axis deviation morphology is a well described clinical syndrome. Previous studies have mapped the tachycardia focus to the inferior septal region at the base of the posterior papillary muscle of the left ventricle. We describe two typical cases in a 20-year-old man and 29-year-old woman in which the tachycardia focus was localized with endocardial mapping techniques. In both cases the ventricular tachycardia focus was ablated with application of radiofrequency current at the inferior septal region. There were no complications of the procedures. The patients remain asymptomatic over follow-up of 7 and 4 months, respectively.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.

D017180 Tachycardia, Ventricular An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).
