Sustained Idiopathic Outflow Tract Ventricular Tachycardia: Clinical Evidence for RVOT Predominance.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIdiopathic outflow tract premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are most commonly localized in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). The clinical significance of sustained outflow tract ventricular tachycardia (OT-VT) regarding any predominance to one specific anatomic area remains uncertain. SUBJECTIVE: This study aimed to characterize the clinical and procedural features of patients with idiopathic sustained OT-VT and determine whether the site of origin can be predicted from clinical presentation.
methodsThis retrospective cohort included 35 consecutive patients with documented sustained OT-VT (≥ 30 s), from over 400 patients referred for idiopathic outflow tract arrhythmia ablation. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic characteristics were collected and procedural data reviewed. Sites of arrhythmia origin were identified by electroanatomic mapping and ablation outcomes.
resultsSustained OT-VT arose exclusively from right-sided outflow tract foci, most commonly the postero- or anteroseptal RVOT (n = 26, 74.3% and n = 6, 17.1%, respectively) and less frequently from the posterolateral (n = 3, 8.6%). No cases of sustained VT from the LVOT were observed. Acute ablation success was achieved in all patients. During 12 months of follow-up, recurrence occurred in three patients (8.6%), all of whom were successfully managed with repeat ablation. No complications were observed.
conclusionIn patients with structurally normal hearts, sustained OT-VT in our cohort arose exclusively from the RVOT. Recognition of this pattern can guide mapping and ablation strategies.
