Abstract
Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been used to treat idiopathic lef t ventricular tachycardia with high success rates. The majority of rep orted cases have exhibited the typical findings of right bundle branch block morphology with left axis deviation and originate from within o r near the left posterior fascicle. We report a case of idiopathic lef t ventricular tachycardia originating from within or near the left ant erior fascicle, which was successfully ablated using a local Purkinje potential as a guide.
