Electroanatomical Mapping of the Right Atrium during Atrial Tachycardia Originating from Right Superior Pulmonary Vein: Additional Insights on Differential Diagnosis

Atrial tachycardia (AT) from the right superior pulmonary vein (RSPV) may mimic right atrial (RA)‐AT due to its proximity to the superior vena cava (SVC) and the preferential connections between the left atrium and right atrium.
