Table 1: Electrocardiographic Morphology of Outflow Tract Ventricular Tachycardias.

Site of Origin Lead V1 Precordial Transition Lead I Additional
RVOT free wall - ≥V4 Site 1 +
Site 2 +/-

Notching in inferior leads
Septal RVOT - V3 or V4 Site 1 +
Site 2 +/-

Right coronary cusp - V2 or V3 + Notching in downstroke of V1 suggests junction of RCC and LCC
Left ventricular summit - V2 or V3 - or +/- Pattern break in V2 with more net negativity than V1 or V3
Left coronary cusp +/- + throughout or V2 - M or W configuration common in V1

All outflow tract ventricular tachycardias are positive in the inferior leads (II, III and aVF). + = positive. +/-; isoelectric or biphasic; - = negative; RVOT = right ventricular outflow tract. Adapted from: Liang et al. 2015.1 Used with permission from Springer Nature.
