Reply to the Editor — The Site of Origin of the Ventricular Premature Complex in a Patient With 2 Different P-Wave Morphology

I welcome the letter of Drs Alizadeh and Keikhavani concerning the ventricular premature beat (VPB) in our recent article1 because it gives attention to our ability to locate ectopic ventricular rhythms by giving a close look at their QRS configuration. This is an increasingly important topic in relation to treatment by catheter ablation. While discussing the site of origin of the VPB in relation to QRS configuration, they refer to publications by the clinical electrophysiology group from Birmingham, AL, that contributed extensively to that issue.
