Incessant left ventricular tachycardia of unusual etiology
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

A teenager with left ventricular dysfunction complicating chronic incessant supraventricular tachycardia is described. He was unusual in his delayed presentation to hospital, despite having come to medical attention several years previously, and he showed an excellent response to flecainide.
متن کاملTwo case reports on incessant left ventricular tachycardia: curative therapy with radiofrequency ablation.
INTRODUCTION Incessant ventricular tachycardia is a rare arrhythmia which can be life threatening. Treatment with anti-arrhythmic agents may occasionally fail. CLINICAL PICTURE We report 2 cases of incessant ventricular tachycardia. The first case was a young man with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia who was in incessant ventricular tachycardia despite treatment with multiple anti-arrh...
متن کاملIncessant Ventricular Tachycardia Acutely Controlled with Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and Aneurysmal Plication
There are many treatment modalities available to acutely terminate incessant ventricular tachycardia with variable success rates, but some cases tend to prove refractory to all of them. We report a 59-year-old woman presenting with incessant ventricular tachycardia. Echocardiography revealed a large true apical aneurysm and severe left ventricular dysfunction. The arrhythmia was controlled in t...
متن کاملWhen Ablation Is Not the Answer: Acute Left Main Thrombosis Causing Incessant Ventricular Tachycardia Following Left Ventricular Assist Device Implant
Ventricular arrhythmia from aortic cusp thrombosis and coronary embolization is a rare complication of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. In this report, we present a case of acute left main and left anterior descending artery occlusion from embolic aortic cusp thrombi after LVAD implant. The patient presented with chest pain and incessant ventricular tachycardia post-LVAD impl...
متن کاملSuccessful Non-fluoroscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Incessant Atrial Tachycardia in a High Risk Twin Pregnancy
We describe a patient presenting with incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia during a high risk twin pregnancy. Tachycardia was resistant to escalating doses of beta-blockade with digoxin. Because of increasing left ventricular dysfunction early in the third trimester, catheter ablation was performed successfully at 30 weeks gestation. Electro-anatomic mapping permitted the entire procedure to be...
