“…1 While this racial predilection is still prevalent, cases have been described in patients of other races from different parts of the world including India. Patients with submitral aneurysm exhibit varied clinical manifestations, [2][3][4] and are reported to have poor surgical outcome. We report a young female with a large submitral aneurysm of the LV who presented in cardiogenic shock.…”

“…However, irrespective of availability, EAM should not defer ICD implantation [6]. There is no robust data to support surgical ventriculectomy in chagasic aneurysms [14], although there are some reports of successful suppression of ventricular arrhythmias after surgical repair of subvalvular aneurysms [15]. …”

Subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm is a rare disease of obscure origin suggesting unique causes such as congenital, traumatic, and inflammatory or infectious diseases. Its mortality is closely related to heart failure, mitral insufficiency, thromboembolic phenomena, and cardiac arrhythmias. Although association with coronary artery disease is not described, the compression of epicardial vessels by the aneurysm may lead to ischemic manifestations. We report here a case of mitral subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm of probable chagasic origin, in a patient with normal left ventricular function evolving with repeated episodes of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, despite noninducible electrophysiological testing and the use of optimal medical treatment, including amiodarone. The indication for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy and segmental wall motion abnormalities but without global systolic dysfunction remains unclear in literature, even in the presence of complex ventricular arrhythmias. A brief review of the literature on morphological features, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment will be also discussed.

Ventricular tachycardia as a complication of annular subvalvular ventricular aneurysm in a Caucasian woman

Abstract: A Caucasian female patient with repetitive attacks of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation caused by annular submitral left ventricular aneurysm is reported. During a follow-up period of six years after aneurysmectomy, the patient remained symptom-free.
