INTRODUCTION: Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) is mainly associated with and triggered by short-coupled (R-on-T) ventricular ectopics. However, little is known about the risk of VF associated with long-coupled premature ventricular complexes (LCPVCs).
OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence and characteristics of IVF patients presenting with LCPVCs.
METHODS: Consecutive patients with IVF and PVCs from five arrhythmia referral centers were reviewed. We included patients presenting LCPVCs, defined as PVCs falling after the end of the T wave, with a normal QTc interval. We evaluated demographics, medical history, and clinical circumstances associated with PVCs and VF episodes. The origin of PVCs was determined by invasive mapping.
RESULTS: Seventy-nine patients with IVF were reviewed. Among them, 12 (15.2%) met the inclusion criteria (8 women, age 36 ± 14 years). Eleven patients had documented LCPVCs initiating repetitive PVCs or sustained VF, whereas 1 had only documented isolated PVCs. In 10 of 12 patients, PVCs were recorded showing both long and short coupling intervals of 418 ± 46 and 304 ± 33 ms, respectively. Mapping showed that PVCs originated from the left Purkinje in 10 patients, from the right Purkinje in 1 patient, and both in 1 patient. Compared to other patients from the initial cohort, IVF with LCPVCs was associated with a left-sided origin of PVCs (92% in long-coupled IVF vs. 46% of left Purkinje PVCs in short-coupled IVF, p = .004).
CONCLUSION: Long-coupled fascicular PVCs, traditionally recognized as benign, can be associated with IVF in a subset of patients. They can induce IVF by themselves or in association with short-coupled PVCs.
