A 30-year-old asymptomatic pregnant woman at 38 weeks' gestation was noticed to have repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. A dilated left ventricle with moderately reduced systolic function was found on echocardiographic examination. To the best of our knowledge, a case of peripartum cardiomyopathy presenting with repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia has not been previously reported.

Double-balloon venous ethanol ablation for treatment of repetitive monomorphic ventricular complexes from intramural infero-basal septum: a case report.

Background: Ablation failures are common in case of intramural location of the arrhythmogenic substrate.
Case Summary: We report the case of a patient with cardiomyopathy contributed by frequent monomorphic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) from intramural basal interventricular septum treated with double-balloon venous ethanol ablation (VEA) after a previous failed endocardial radiofrequency (RF) ablation.
Discussion: Double-balloon VEA represents a safe and effective therapeutic option in case of intramural VAs also in the absence of venous collaterals joining selectively an intramural arrhythmic substrate.

Background And Objectives: Clonic seizures are currently defined as repetitive and rhythmic contractions of a specific body part, producing twitching movements at a frequency of 0.2-5 Hz. There are few studies in the literature that have reported a detailed analysis of the semiology, neurophysiology, and lateralizing value of clonic seizures.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare disorder with familial (autosomal dominant) predisposition and can be challenging to diagnose. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a relatively uncommon and short-lived arrhythmia when seen in the general, healthy population. NSVT with a left bundle branch block morphology is usually idiopathic but may also be seen in ARVC.

The sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (BCSD) is performed for refractory VAs. We sought to assess our institutional experience with BCSD in managing treatment-resistant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MMVT) in heart failure patients with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
