Sustained ventricular tachycardia complicating left ventricular apical aneurysms has been reported previously solely in middle-aged patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and mid-cavity obstruction. We report a case of an elderly female patient who presented with incessant ventricular tachycardia as the first clinical manifestation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mid-ventricular obstruction and apical aneurysm.
Keywords: apical aneurysm; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; mid-ventricular obstruction; ventricular tachycardia.
