Electrovectorcardiographic features of 150 patients showing right ventricular activation delays (RVAD) has been analyzed. This analysis of RAVD, especially for type I, which is the group with the widest morphologic variability, has permitted a more detailed classification: a type I with 5 subtypes, a type II with 1 subtype, a type III and an intermediate type between type II and III. Fifty-five per cent of the patients were included in type I and its variant and most were classified, often without cardiac disease, as belonging to the classic type I. Thirty per cent of RVAD were of type II; 12% of type III and the remaining were in the intermediate group between type II and III. The various morphologies, moreover, were correlated with the clinical picture: the classic type I was never seen in subjects with cardiac disease, while the others types and subtypes were present either in subjects with cardiac disease or in elderly subjects, also without relevant pathologies (senile heart, especially, the type IA") or in otherwise healthy subjects. In a medical-social context, checking for RVAD, in the absence of cardiac disease, might usefully avoid further investigation. It is underlined the usefulness of this correlation for clinical prognostic judgement.
