Identifying the true origin of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with dilated-phase hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A case of successful catheter ablation

This case report describes sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) caused by a large epicardial scar, related to dilated-phase hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mimicking VT originating from the apical septum. VT resolved with epicardial catheter ablation. The exit of the VT circuit suggested t...
