The VT waveform showed a right bundle branch block pattern with a superior axis. Furthermore, a negative lead I and a transition zone with an abrupt change from V4 to V5 indicated that PVC/VT arose from the posterior papillary muscle area. The probable cause was mechanical extension of the posterior medial papillary muscle as a result of leaflet grasping, with resolution following appropriate volume management.
