  "abstract": "We report the first case of ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the cardiac crux in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The patient presented with sustained VT with right bundle branch block (RBBB) morphology. Although the RBBB morphology typically suggests an apical crux origin, which is often difficult to reach with ablation catheters, successful catheter ablation was achieved within the proximal middle cardiac vein. This case demonstrates that the surface ECG morphology can be modified by underlying structural heart disease.",
