Abstract

We report a case of a 67-year old male with a recent diagnosis of left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), initially presenting with symptomatic ventricular ectopy and runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). This ventricular arrhythmia originated in a structurally normal right ventricle (RV) and was successfully localized and ablated with the aid of the three-dimensional mapping and remote magnetic navigation.

Keywords: ablation; electrophysiology study; left ventricular non-compaction; ventricular tachycardia.
