Why the study?
Isolated right ventricular noncompaction is rarely reported, particularly cases causing both pulmonary embolism and ventricular tachycardia.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case report demonstrates that isolated right ventricular noncompaction can cause both ventricular tachycardia and in situ pulmonary embolism, which were successfully managed with radiofrequency catheter ablation, warfarin anticoagulation, and guideline-directed heart failure medical therapy.
Isolated ventricular noncompaction is an unclassified cardiomyopathy due to intrauterine arrest of compaction of the loose interwoven meshwork. Its mortality and morbidity are high, including heart failure, thromboembolic events, and ventricular arrhythmias. Isolated right ventricular noncompaction was reported rarely, especially that causes pulmonary embolism and ventricular tachycardia. We describe a case of isolated noncompaction of the right ventricular causing pulmonary embolism and ventricular tachycardia.

Huo et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Isolated right ventricular noncompaction causing ventricular tachycardia and pulmonary embolism (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation, anticoagulation (heparin sodium and warfarin), ACE inhibitor, beta-blocker, and spironolactone was evaluated on Recurrence of ventricular tachycardia, amaurosis, and dyspnea at 8-month follow-up.
