Abstract

The Purkinje system has been found to mediate several monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (VTs). These include fascicular VTs and bundle branch reentrant (BBR) VTs. Previous studies have revealed that VTs involving the His-Purkinje system are composed of multiple discrete subtypes that are best differentiated by their mechanism, drug effect, VT morphology, and successful ablation site. Recognition of the heterogeneity of these VTs and their unique characteristics should facilitate the appropriate diagnosis and therapy and help guide catheter ablation therapy. In this article, we focus on the latest updates of the mechanisms underlying left ventricle fascicular VTs and BBR-VTs as well as the latest catheter ablation techniques.
