Verapamil-sensitive fascicular ventricular tachycardia in a patient with isolated left ventricular noncompaction

Intern Med. 2014;53(10):1063-5. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.53.2048.

Abstract

Isolated left ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) is a rare congenital form of cardiomyopathy. Verapamil-sensitive fascicular ventricular tachycardia is a rare arrhythmogenic condition characterized by a right bundle-branch block pattern and left-axis deviation with a relatively narrow QRS complex. We herein present the case of a patient with IVNC who presented with verapamil-sensitive fascicular ventricular tachycardia.
