title: An isolated left ventricular lesion associated with left ventricular tachycardia--arrhythmogenic "left" ventricular dysplasia?
abstract: We present a patient who had a localized myocardial lesion of the left ventricle. Major clinical sequelae were left ventricular tachycardia and heart failure. This case appears to represent a left-sided counterpart of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
