Exercise-Induced Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Tachycardia in a Patient with Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isolated left ventricular noncompaction is a hereditary cardiomyopathy in which a variety of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias could be observed. We report a patient with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block morphology that had characteristics of an idiopathic ventricular tachycardia who was subsequently diagnosed as left ventricular noncompaction. Successful remission of arrhythmia was ensured after the introduction of oral beta-blocker therapy.

Adenosine-sensitive ventricular tachycardia from the anterobasal left ventricle.
OBJECTIVES This study demonstrates that exercise-provocable tachycardia resembling right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia may originate from the anterobasal left ventricle. BACKGROUND Reentry is the operative mechanism of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, with a QRS complex of right bundle branch block and superior axis that is responsive to verapamil but not adenosine. Whether so...
متن کاملCoexistence of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia and Idiopathic Left Ventricular Outflow-Tract Tachycardia
Double tachycardia is a relatively rare condition. We describe a 21 year old woman with history of frequent palpitations. In one of these episodes, she had wide complex tachycardia with right bundle branch and inferior axis morphology. A typical atrioventricular nodal tachycardia was induced during electrophysiologic study, aimed at induction of clinically documented tachycardia. Initially no v...
متن کاملVentricular noncompaction in a female patient with nephropathic cystinosis: a case report
INTRODUCTION We report an unusual and interesting case of a 24-year-old woman with nephropathic cystinosis in association with concomitant isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle. Left ventricular noncompaction usually presents with reduced exercise tolerance as a consequence of ventricular dysfunction, the result of embolus or with palpitations and syncope due to arrhythmia. There is no s...
متن کاملDysinnervation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy An Analysis Using 1231-Meta-Iodobenzylguanidine Scintigraphy
Background In patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), the frequent provocation of ventricular tachycardia during exercise, the sensitivity toward catecholamines, and the response toward antiarrhythmic drug regimen with antiadrenergic properties suggest an involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in arrhythmogenesis. Methods and Results To analyze the presence,...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy: obstruction flushed out with exercise echocardiography.
Received 20 August 2014; revision accepted for publication 25 November 2014. We describe the case of a 17-year-old girl with a recent diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Her main symptom was post-exercise dizziness without loss of consciousness. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography revealed marked hypertrophy of the basal segment of the interventricular septum (27 mm) (figure 1,...
