BACKGROUND: It was hypothesized that atrial premature contractions (APCs) originating in the pulmonary veins (PVs) or superior vena cava (SVC) can be localized by evaluating characteristics of the P wave.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirty-eight patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were studied. P wave polarity and morphology of the ECGs during pacing from PVs were analyzed and compared to those of APCs originating from PVs. The P wave angle and notch in lead II during pacing from the right superior (RS) PV and SVC was compared to those of spontaneous APCs originating from those veins. A positive P wave in lead I was helpful in predicting right PV origin. A positive P wave in lead II distinguished superior PV origin. A notched P wave was helpful in predicting left PV origin. P wave polarity in lead II was positive during RSPV and SVC pacing. P waves in lead II during RSPV pacing had notching in 80%, but all P waves were smooth during SVC pacing. A P wave angle of > 40 degrees and notching in lead II showed RSPV origin.
CONCLUSIONS: These criteria are helpful in selecting which of the 4 PVs should be isolated when APCs cannot be recorded after transseptal puncture.
