Idiopathic ventricular tachycardias (VTs) are generally divided into those
arising from the right ventricle and those arising from the left ventricle.
There has been few reports of two morphologically distinct VT occurring in
patients with no apparent structural heart disease. We report a patient wi
th verapamil-sensitive left VT with a right bundle branch block pattern tha
t spontaneously changed to VT with a left bundle branch block pattern. Vent
ricular fibrillation was induced by the application of programmed stimulati
on. Although it is unclear if our patient with pleomorphic VT has ventricul
ar vulnerability, it is necessary to investigate further and follow him car
efully.
