Abstract
Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) can arise from multiple different ventricular locations in the context of several different underlying myocardial substrates. Despite this variability, the surface 12-lead electrocardiograph (ECG) has proven to be a robust and reproducible initial mapping tool that can provide useful information in localizing the origin of both focal and reentrant forms of VT. The second part of this review series will look at the use of the ECG in mapping the various forms of VT encountered in clinical practice.Keywords
