A 50-year-old male patient, with history of well-controlled hypertension and no known personal or family history of cardiac disease, presented with chest pain followed by syncope during strenuous physical activity. The electrocardiogram showed sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. Electrical cardioversion was performed, with conversion to sinus rhythm with Q waves on leads V2-5 and III-aVF (). Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed asymmetric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, preserved ejection fraction (EF) with apical akinesia, and hypertrabeculated right ventricle (RV). Coronary angiography showed no […]
