The majority of right ventricular tachycardias exhibit a left bundle branch block pattern with an inferior axis. The classical differential diagnosis is either idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia or arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy. Recently, the entity of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia has been extended to outflow tract tachycardias with potential origins in the right ventricular outflow tract, the left ventricular outflow tract or the aortic sinus of valsalva.1,2 Especially the R/S transition in the precordial leads of the 12-lead surface ECG has . . .
