Abstract:
A case is presented of a 77-year-old patient who was admitted with a pattern of sustained ventricular tachycardia and diagnosed with midventricular hypertrophic myocardiopathy with apycal aneurysm. Under treatment with amiodarone at low doses, the patient is asymptomatic with no recurrence of the arrhytmias at one year. The association of midventricular hypertrophic myocardiopathy with apycal aneurysm and of those with sustained ventricular tachycardia are reviewed in conjunction with their treatment.
