Abstract

Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) is a distinct entity that arises in the left ventricle, may have reentrant mechanism and is verapamil-sensitive. Pleomorphism as defined by multiple ventricular tachycardia morphologies is usually associated with either coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy but very rare in cases of ILVT. In this case report, we describe an unusual case of ILVT with two ECG morphologies of the opposite axis that were successfully eliminated with radiofrequency ablation. The successful ablation sites were closely located to each other in the left lower ventricular septum.
