title: Normal heart ventricular tachycardia associated with pregnancy: successful treatment with catheter ablation.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Normal heart ventricular arrhythmia occurring during pregnancy has been previously described. Whilst there are established reports of catheter ablation to treat supraventricular arrhythmia during pregnancy, there are no reports of ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present the case of a 36 year old women, 31 weeks into an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy, experiencing significant, troublesome and drug refractory tachycardia emanating from the right ventricular outflow tract.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We describe a successful radio frequency ablation in the third trimester of pregnancy.
