AB  - We examined autopsy specimens from a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy who 
      underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular fibrillation. There was 
      site specific arrhythmogenesis of the trigger ventricular premature contractions 
      (VPCs) and Purkinje potentials were recorded before the onset of the QRS. In 
      postmortem examination, fibromuscular bands connecting the posterior papillary 
      muscle and ventricular septum were recognized at the successful ablation sites of 
      the trigger VPCs and the microscopic examinations revealed Purkinje cells in the 
      center of that fibromuscular band.
