A Case of Left Ventricular False Tendon with Ventricular Tachycardia
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 48‐year‐old lady presented to the emergency department with a history of sudden onset palpitations associated with fatigue. 12‐lead electrocardiogram was suggestive of ventricular tachycardia with right bundle branch block morphology [Figure 1], patient was hemodynamically unstable so electrically cardioverted. Subsequently two‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiogram revealed dilated left ventricle with moderate

Multiple monomorphic ventricular tachycardias in a structurally normal heart: A case report
Catheter ablation has curative potential in patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Different endocavitary structures, such as papillary muscles, moderator band, and false tendon, have been described as the substrate for idiopathic VT. Although single-morphology VT arising from a false tendon is a well-known entity, multiple monomorphic VTs requiring ablation of a false tendon have
متن کاملApplication of centrifugal pump in right ventricular failure due to pulmonary artery hypertension. (A case report)
Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...
متن کاملIncidence of the coexistence of left ventricular false tendons and premature ventricular contractions in apparently healthy subjects.
The incidence of the coexistence of left ventricular false tendons and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) was evaluated prospectively. Over 14 months, left ventricular false tendons were found in 71 (6.4%) of 1117 consecutive patients examined echocardiographically. Two types of false tendons were observed: longitudinal, from the ventricular septum to the posteroapical wall (n = 62), and...

متن کاملA reappraisal of the prevalence and clinical importance of left ventricular false tendons in children and adults.
The prevalence and clinical importance of false tendons were studied in 488 consecutive patients referred for echocardiography. Two hundred and eighty three (58%) patients had acquired heart disease, 91 (19%) had congenital heart disease, and 114 (23%) had normal hearts. Sixty six patients with normal hearts had innocent systolic murmurs and one had recurrent ventricular tachycardia. The overal...
