Abstract

We report the case of a 59-year-old non-Caucasian man with sustained left ventricular (LV) tachycardia and isolated LV non-compaction. An electro-anatomical mapping of the right ventricle and LV with the Carto system was reconstructed. The voltage map excluded the presence of scarred tissue as a possible substrate responsible of the ventricular arrhythmia.
