Key result
A localized left ventricular myocardial lesion associated with tachycardia and heart failure appears to be a left-sided counterpart of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
This case highlights the existence of arrhythmogenic left ventricular dysplasia, presenting with localized LV lesions, ventricular tachycardia, and heart failure.
Alerts clinicians to evaluate for localized LV lesions in unexplained tachycardia with HF; leaves open confirmation as left-sided arrhythmogenic dysplasia.
We present a patient who had a localized myocardial lesion of the left ventricle. Major clinical sequelae were left ventricular tachycardia and heart failure. This case appears to represent a left-sided counterpart of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
