Abstract：Cardiac summit is a crux area including the region of great cardiac vein(GCV) and anterior interventricular vein(AIV), aortomitral continuity(AMC), left coronary cusp (LCC), and posterior right ventricular outflow(RVOT). Since cardiac summitoriginated premature ventricular beats(PVBs) is characteristic in electrocardiogram(ECG), surface body ECG helps to make reasonable ablative strategy before operation by positioning the possible origin of PVBs.
