          Abstract

          We report the first clinical application of electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI), a new, noninvasive imaging modality for arrhythmias, in an athlete with focal ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from a left ventricular (LV) diverticulum. A reconstructed map of the epicardial activation sequence during a single premature ventricular complex (PVC) of an identical QRS morphology to the clinical VT, generated from 224-electrode body surface ECGs and a chest CT (ECGI), localized the PVC to the site of the diverticulum. This correlated with subsequent maps obtained using standard techniques. We describe the first case that used ECGI to guide diagnosis and therapy of a clinical tachyarrhythmia.
