Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A case of a 51-year old male is presented. A left bundle branch block inferior axis tachycardia was manifest. At electrophysiological study this tachycardia was inducible and was ablated in the septal right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Two other tachycardias were identified both with right bundle branch block (RBBB) morphology raising the suspicion of diffuse pathology. Arrythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) was confirmed by right ventricular angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was implanted and an appropriate shock was later delivered. |
