Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RF-CA) has demonstrated a high success rate in eliminating idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT), and the target site is determined by the score of pace mapping or the Purkinje potential (PP) preceding the onset of the ventricular activation, which is considered to indicate the exit site of the reentrant circuit. However, only a few reports have described the potential obtained from the slow conduction zone. RF-CA was successfully performed in 8 patients with ILVT. Careful mapping of the left ventricle during tachycardia was carried out to find the diastolic potential (DP). A DP was obtained in 4 patients (group 1), but not in 4 others (group 2). The local electrogram was recorded from the distal tip of the ablation catheter during the RF current application in order to investigate the pattern of termination of ILVT. A DP was recorded at the point where the catheter was slightly pulled back to a site proximal to the exit site of the reentrant circuit at the left interventricular basal septum. In group 1, conduction block between the DP and PP eliminated ILVT in 3 out of 4 cases, and 1 case showed conduction block between the DP and ventricular potential. In 2 out of 4 patients in group 2, the local electrogram showed conduction block between PP and the ventricular potential when VT terminated. The ablation site in group 1 was located relatively more basal than that in group 2 in anatomy. A DP was obtained in a half of the cases with ILVT and RF-CA at this site could eliminate ILVT. A DP was obtained at a site relatively basal to the exit of the reentrant circuit and it is considered that this is a useful marker in terms of the successful ablation of ILVT.
