We present the case of a 45-year-old female with a normal heart, who exhibited an episode of a broad QRS tachycardia that was initially suggested to be sustained ventricular tachycardia. Coronary angiography showed the left main stem originating from the right aortic sinus with an interarterial course between aorta and right ventricular outflow tract. Electrophysiological study revealed the presence of a right atriofascicular accessory pathway with decremental antegrade conduction (Mahaim bundle), which was successfully ablated.

Background: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of ventricular myocardium. Ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are the main clinical manifestations. ACM was previously called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D).

Background: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, is a main cause of unexpected myocardial injury after acute myocardial infarction. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are formed from protein-coding genes, can sequester microRNAs or proteins, modulate transcription and interfere with splicing.
