Özet

A 43-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of palpitation. Electrocardiography revealed premature ventricular contraction (PVC) that appeared to be originating from the left ventricular outflow tract. Tall positive R waves were observed in leads II, III, and aVF, and the R transition was observed at V2 in precordial leads. A notch was realized on the downward deflection of QS, which was only at lead V1. (Figure 1) This finding indicates that the region between the right and left coronary commissures is the origin of VPS.
