- Abstract
The article presents information on case involving a 36-year-old Japanese woman who had previously been diagnosed with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Amiodarone therapy was started to prevent ventricular tachyarrhythmia. However, she discontinued amiodarone at the end of 1988 and stopped visiting the arrhythmia clinic. She remained asymptomatic, even with no treatment when she revisited the clinic because of palpitation at rest. Holter monitoring showed nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. Magnetic resonance images showed hypertrophy in the middle segment of the ventricle with a small aneurysmal shape at the left ventriculara apex.
