Figure 1 (A) Initiation of ventricular fibrillation (VF) recorded by a monitoring electrocardiogram in Patient #1. Note that the morphology of QRS complex of the initiating ventricular extrasystole (VE) was identical to that of preceding isolated premature ventricular contractions (*). (B) Non-sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia recorded in 12-lead electrocardiogram during hospitalization in Patient #8. The initiating VE showed left bundle branch morphology with inferior axis (*).
