Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia and fatty infiltration of the anterior right ventricular free wall

Cardiol Rev. 2006 Jul-Aug;14(4):e5-7. doi: 10.1097/01.crd.0000181625.37237.cb.

Abstract

We report a 52-year-old woman with palpitations and syncope. Holter recording revealed runs of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia, and magnetic resonance imaging showed thickening and fatty infiltration of the right ventricle with normal cardiac chamber size and no wall motion abnormalities.
