To date, the mapping and catheter ablation of the arrhythmias originating from the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) has not been specified. This study investigates the electrocardiogram (ECG) feature of PVCs or VT originating from the LVOT. Moreover, the treatment outcome of RFCA is analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Mapping and ablation were performed on the supravalvular or subvalvular aorta in 52 cases with PVCs\/VT originating from the LVOT. The data were compared with those from 104 patients with PVCs\/VT originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). A differential procedure was prepared based on the comparison of the ECG features of PVCs\/VT originating from the RVOT, LVOT, and their different parts.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among 52 cases with PVCs originating from the LVOT, 47 were successfully treated by RFCA, with a success rate of 90.38%. Several differences among the 12-lead ECG features were observed from the RVOT and LVOT in the left and right coronary sinus groups, as well as under the left coronary sinus group (left fibrous trigone): (1) If the precordial leads transition &lt;V3 plus the precordial leads transitional index &gt;0 are considered as the diagnostic parameters of PVCs\/VT originating from the LVOT, then the sensitivity, specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive values are 94.12%, 93.00%, 87.27%, and 96.88%, respectively; (2) The analysis of different subgroups of the LVOT are as follows: (a) A mainly positive wave of r or m pattern was recorded in the lead I in 72.73% of patients in the right coronary sinus group, versus 12.90% of patients in the left coronary sinus group, and 0% in the under left coronary sinus group. (b) All patients in the right coronary sinus group presented waves of R<jats:sub>II<\/jats:sub>&gt;R<jats:sub>III<\/jats:sub> and QS<jats:sub>aVR<\/jats:sub>&gt;QS<jats:sub>aVL<\/jats:sub>, whereas most patients in the other two groups showed waves of R<jats:sub>III<\/jats:sub>&gt;R<jats:sub>II<\/jats:sub> and QS<jats:sub>aVL<\/jats:sub>&gt;QS<jats:sub>aVR<\/jats:sub>. (c) Most patients in the under left coronary sinus group in lead V1 had a mainly positive wave (R) (77.78%), whereas those in the right (81.82%) and left (62.50%) coronary sinus groups had mainly negative waves (rS).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>RFCA is a safe and effective curative therapy for PVCs\/VT originating from the LVOT.
