Right Ventricular Ablation as a Therapeutic Option for Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation / Noncompaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Though RV ablation is reported as having been successful, it would be interesting to know for how long the patient was followed-up after the procedure. This point is of particular importance since the patient is reported to have undergone RV ablation already before (ablation 1) the present procedure (ablation 2). How long was the interval between ablation 1 and ablation 2? For how long was ablation 1 successful?

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricle in Left Ventricular Non-compaction - In response to "Right Ventricular Ablation as a Therapeutic Option for Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation / noncompaction"
We welcome Dr Finsterer's and Dr Stollberger's interest in our manuscript and their insightful observations. We have recently reported [1] a case of successful mapping and ablation of ventricular tachyarrhythmia in a patient with left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). The arrhythmia proved to have a rather unusual and unexpected origin, located within a structurally normal right ventricle (RV)...
متن کاملSudden Infant Death Syndrome and Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation-Hidden Arrhythmogenic Entity?
Left ventricular noncompaction/hypertrabeculation is a condition which is characterized by a highly trabeculated, "spongy" myocardium.It can present at any age with heart failure, arrhythmia and/or thromboembolic events.A wide variety of mutations have been found to be a cause of hypertrabeculation and it is possible that there is a continuum of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopat...
متن کاملSarcomere mutations in cardiomyopathy with left ventricular hypertrabeculation.
BACKGROUND Mutations in the genes encoding sarcomere proteins have been associated with both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy. Recently, mutations in myosin heavy chain (MYH7), cardiac actin (ACTC), and troponin T (TNNT2) were associated with left ventricular noncompaction, a form of cardiomyopathy characterized with hypertrabeculation that may also include reduced function of the left v...
متن کاملHypertrabeculation vs left ventricular noncompaction on echocardiogram: a reason to restrict athletic participation?
IMPORTANCE Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare cause of progressive cardiomyopathy thought to result from incomplete myocardial development. It has been associated with an increased risk of sudden death, especially in those with a depressed left ventricular ejection fraction. Thus, the current recommendation for patients with this diagnosis is restriction from participation in compe...
متن کاملA Case of Left Ventricular Noncompaction Accompanying Fasciculo-Ventricular Accessory Pathway and Atrial Flutter
Left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) is an uncommon type of genetic cardiomyopathy characterized by trabeculations and recesses within the ventricular myocardium. LVHT is associated with diastolic or systolic dysfunction, thromboembolic complications, and arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, atrioventricular block and Wolff-Parkinson-White syn...
