Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia In An Apparently Healthy Heart: A Very Localized Left Dominant Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 62-year-old man admitted for presyncope presented two symptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch morphology and inferior axis suggesting a pathology of the left ventricular lateral wall, the site where Cardiac Magnetic Resonance demonstrated a thinned, hypokinetic segment with fibro-fatty subepicardial infiltration. A very localized Left Dominant Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy was diagnosed and an ICD implanted.

Late presentation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: a case report
INTRODUCTION Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an inherited myocardial disease affecting predominantly young people and manifests as sustained ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block morphology, sudden death or isolated right or biventricular heart failure. However, its first manifestation as sustained ventricular tachycardia in older patients without preceding sy...

The most common presentation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is palpitations or ventricular tachycardia (VT) of left bundle branch morphology in a young or middle-aged individual. The 12-lead electrocardiogram may be normal or have T-wave inversion beyond V(1) in an otherwise healthy person who is suspected of having ARVC. The most frequent imaging abnormalities are an...

BACKGROUND Left dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (LDAC) is a rare condition characterised by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium of the left ventricle (LV) in combination with ventricular arrhythmias of LV origin. CASE PRESENTATION A thirty-five-year-old male was referred for evaluation of recurrent sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) of 200 bpm and right...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a familial heart muscle disease characterized by structural, electrical, and pathological abnormalities of the right ventricle (RV). Several disease loci have been identified. Mutations in desmoplakin have recently been isolated in both autosomal-dominant and autosomal-recessive forms of ARVC. Primary left ventricular (LV) var...
متن کاملIncessant left ventricular tachycardia of unusual etiology
Apart from Coronary artery disease, left ventricular tachycardia may result from cardiac sarcoidosis, left ventricular tumor, chagas disease and idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. We report a rare case of incessant left ventricular tachycardia resulting from left dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy.
