Resolution of severe cardiomyopathy after catheter ablation of an anteroseptal accessory pathway: A case report.

In patients with non-sustained tachyarrhythmias, left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is uncommon. The role of catheter ablation (CA) in asymptomatic patients with tachyarrhythmia remains unclear. We report a 20-year-old patient without sustained tachyarrhythmia with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of anteroseptal accessory pathway.

Coexisting fascicular ventricular tachycardia and papillary muscle ventricular tachycardia in the setting of coronary artery disease in a master athlete.

A 73-year old male developed syncope during a bicycle race. Exercise stress testing demonstrated non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) and ischemic changes. Coronary angiography revealed a 99% occluded right coronary artery which was stented; repeat stress testing demonstrated normal perfusion and NSVT.

Inferior vena cava anomaly: a risk for deep vein thrombosis.

Context: Inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies have a 0.5% incidence rate and could be associated with other congenital abnormalities. In later stage of the disease, trophic ulcers with or without deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is consistent finding.
