title: Positional ventricular tachycardia.
abstract: A 60-year-old man showed nonsustained repetitive monomorphic VT in the left lateral position, but this was terminated by deep inspiration. Echocardiography and MRI demonstrated a false tendon extending from the apex to the basal septum where the VT could have originated. Spontaneous remission occurred during the 16-year follow-up.
