Verapamil-sensitive, idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) with right bundle branch block configuration and left-axis deviation has been suggested to originate from the left posterior fascicle. The purpose of this study was to determine how frequently potentials generated by the Purkinje fiber network (P potential) can be recorded preceding ventricular activation, and the role of the P potential in guiding radiofrequency catheter ablation.
