Non-sustained VT/premature ventricular contraction originating from LV summit is generally considered to occur due to abnormal automaticity or triggered activity. In contrast, using entrainment technique, we demonstrated that the VTs with multiple morphologies were sustained with a re-entrant mechanism. Fragmentated potentials recorded in the AIV catheter were activated orthodromically with the entrainment pacing, indicating the slowly conducting isthmus. The intramural VT substrate was also suggested with a prolonged conduction time between the two ventricular components during the VTs.
