Mid-ventricular Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy with Apical Aneurysm Complicated with Syncope by Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol. 2016 Nov;21(6):618-621. doi: 10.1111/anec.12377. Epub 2016 Jul 16.

Abstract

Mid-ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with secondary formation of apical aneurysm is a rare variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They have a unique behavior because unlike other variants it causes sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, which makes it particularly severe.

Keywords: apical aneurysm; mid-ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.
