Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Idiopathic Left Ventricular Tachycardia (ILVT) is a subtype of IVT characterized by right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left axis deviation (LAD) or right axis deviation (RAD) on an electrocardiogram. Idiopathic LVT predominantly occurs in young males with no underlying structural heart disease, metabolic disorders, or genetic abnormalities. However in this case we report a case of 13 years old male patient who has ventricular tachycardia coincident with acute rheumatic fever that was refractory to common therapies such as amiodarone and cardioversion, but resolved after the insertion of a temporary pacemaker and catheter ablation. Keywords: Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, pediatric arrhythmia, catheter ablation, rheumatic fever.
