Ventricular tachycardia in a patient with cardiac haemochromatosis and normal left-ventricular ejection fraction
We describe a rare case of ventricular arrhythmia in a patient with cardiac haemochromatosis related to iron overload in the myocardium and without evidence of systolic dysfunction or heart failure. This case stresses the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the early identification of...

Zusammenfassung: | We describe a rare case of ventricular arrhythmia in a patient with cardiac haemochromatosis related to iron overload in the myocardium and without evidence of systolic dysfunction or heart failure. This case stresses the utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the early identification of iron overload in the heart and starting appropriate treatment. |
