متن کاملEndovascular catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a surgically repaired congenital left ventricular aneurysm
We present a patient with a congenital left ventricular aneurysm who visited our outpatient clinic for a routine check-up and, during this visit, lost consciousness due to sustained ventricular tachycardia. In our patient, endocardial mapping revealed extensive conduction abnormalities, and successful ablation was accomplished at the endocardial surface.
متن کاملIdiopathic Submitral Left Ventricular Aneurysm: an unusual substrate for ventricular tachycardia in Caucasians
Annular submitral aneurysms have been rarely reported in Caucasians. They are typically diagnosed in non-white adults who present with severe mitral regurgitation, heart failure, systemic embolism, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. In this article, we describe the case of a white woman, presenting with ventricular tachycardia, who had a large submitral left ventricular aneurysm...
متن کاملIdiopathic left ventricular aneurysm and sudden cardiac death in young adults.
AIMS We report three young patients presenting with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) and/or survived sudden cardiac arrest, who were admitted to our institution for further diagnostic evaluation. METHODS AND RESULTS In all patients, idiopathic left ventricular (LV) aneurysms were identified after a detailed non-invasive and invasive evaluation. Su...
