The earliest site of ventricular activation may be identified with the unipolar electrogram by the absence of an R wave. However, the accuracy of this technique is unknown.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Methods and Results:<\/jats:italic> A single ventricular premature complex was induced mechanically at the tip of an electrode catheter to simulate a ventricular premature depolarization site of origin. Unipolar electrograms were recorded from the right ventricular septum at the tip electrode and at 2, 5, 8, and 11 mm from the electrode tip in 20 patients. No R waves were detected at the ventricular premature depolarization site of origin. R waves were detected in 4 of 20 patients (20%) at 2 mm from the tip electrode and 7 of 20 patients (35%) at 5, 8, and 11 mm from the tip electrode. An R wave was not observed at distances \u2264 11 mm from the site of tachycardia origin in 13 of 20 patients (65%).<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> While an R wave in the unipolar electrogram can he seen as close as 2 mm from the site of impulse origin, the absence of an R wave as an indicator of the site of impulse origin in the right ventricle is highly inaccurate. Therefore, the absence of an R wave in the unipolar electrogram is unlikely to be an adequate guide for identification of an effective target site for ablation of right ventricular tachycardia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8167.1997.tb00619.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,20]],"date-time":"2007-04-20T15:02:29Z","timestamp":1177081349000},"page":"974-979","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Accuracy of the Unipolar Electrogram for Identification of the Site of Origin of Ventricular Activation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"K.
