Submitral left ventricular aneurysms typically affect young adults of African ancestryAu: OK as in text?. These aneurysms are characterized by heart failure and mitral insufficiency, and occur in the absence of coronary disease. We report a rare case of symptomatic ventricular tachycardia in association with submitral left ventricular aneurysm (and no mitral insufficiency). Ventricular tachycardia was abolished by aneurysm resection and ventricular reconstruction. We suggest surgical management is indicated for ventricular tachycardia associated with this unusual condition, and may be curative.
