Figure 1 Electrocardiography of the patient.
A: Emergency electrocardiography (ECG) at presentation showing sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), heart rate 228 bpm; B: Emergency ECG in 2021 showing sustained VT, heart rate 192 bpm; C: Following electrical cardioversion ECG in 2021 showing Epsilon waves in leads II, III (blue arrows), aVR, aVF, inverted T waves in leads V1, V2, V3; D: Admission ECG during hospitalization for ischemic stroke in 2023 showing atrial tachycardia with 2:1 atrioventricular conduction.
Figure 2 Holter monitoring of the patient.
Twenty-four-hour Holter showing atrial premature beats (208, single, paired), brief atrial tachycardia (1 episode), ventricular premature beats (120, single, multifocal, paired once).
Figure 3 Results of echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance.
A: Contrast echocardiography showing no significant abnormalities in left ventricular wall motion, right ventricle (RV) wall motion abnormalities, RV fractional area change measured at approximately 30%, RV aneurysm (blue arrows); B: Cardiac magnetic resonance showing fatty infiltration of the RV free wall and the RA (blue arrows).
Figure 4 Electroanatomic mapping and ablation.
A: Low-frequency, fractionated late potentials; B: Homogenization modification; C: Para-Hisian focal atrial tachycardia ablation; D and E: Extensive low-voltage and scarred areas on the right atrial free wall, posterior wall, and the sinus-node region, corresponding to the signal of cardiac magnetic resonance in Figure 3B.
