Abstract

Abhisekh Mohanty

A 29 year-old male without any risk factors for coronary artery disease presented with symptomatic sustained ventricular tachycardia. 2-Dimensional (2 D) transthoracic echocardiogram(TTE) did not reveal any abnormality. When we did a 3-Dimensional(3 D) echocardiogram, a small left ventricular(LV) aneurysm was detected near the outflow tract. After catheter ablation, the patient was discharged without any anti-arrhythmic therapy.
