A rare case of ventricular tachycardia (VT) was caused by a large interventricular septal tumor. Treatment involved ablation, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and ultimately a heart transplant.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Cardiac Surgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Ventricular tachycardia (VT) typically arises from structural heart abnormalities.
- Interventricular septal tumors are an uncommon cause of cardiac arrhythmias.
