Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology ? CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK
ANSWER TO JUNE 3rd QUESTION B. Ablation of right inferior accessory
pathway
Explanation The ECG in Figure 1 shows sinus rhythm with narrow QRS complexes without preexcitation. T-wave inversions are seen after ablation of WPW due to T wave memory.
Cardiac memory: In general, electrical remodeling with any chronic QRS configuration (preexcitation, pacing, bundle branch block etc.) pulls the repolarization vector in the direction of the QRS polarity. Immediately after ablation, the accessory pathway (AP) conduction is eliminated resulting in normalization of the QRS. However, the repolarization changes persist for 1-4 weeks before normalizing.1
Localization of T-wave memory vector: Cardiac memory results in T-wave inversions in leads where pre-ablation QRS was negative, proportional to the amplitude of the negative QRS complex.1 In Figure 1, T waves are inverted in lead III > lead II, and flattened in
lead II. This corresponds to the pre-ablation delta wave polarity most negative in lead III (Figure 2). This suggests a right inferior AP.2
Right superior AP will have an inferior axis and memory T-wave inversions in aVR and aVL, and epicardial coronary sinus/venous AP will have negative lead II and memory T-wave inversion in lead II. Left lateral AP will have a negative delta wave in lead I, but often the preexcitation in sinus rhythm is limited and insufficient to affect the overall QRS polarity, and thus may not result in memory T-wave inversions. Coronary ischemia can also result in T-wave inversions and should be kept in the differential diagnosis, but in this case T-wave memory is the more likely cause.
