چکیده
W ITH the introduction of ventriculo11 plasty the importance of diagnosis of ventricular aneurysm has increased.1' 2 Prior to operation the subject of the following case report had episodes of ventricular tachycardia controlled with difficulty by continuous quinidine administration. Following excision of the ventricular aneurysm there were no further episodes despite the omission of quinidine. REPORT OF CASE

Cardiac Stimulation: Incidence, Mechanisms and Clinical Significance
We analyzed the morphology and rate of ventricular tachycardia induced by programmed cardiac stimulation in 18 patients with recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia who had only one type of ventricular tachycardia during spontaneous episodes. In nine of 18 patients, we induced only one type of ventricular tachycardia, with a morphology and rate similar to those noted during spontaneous vent...

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...
