title: Mid-ventricular Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy with Apical Aneurysm Complicated with Syncope by Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia.
abstract: Mid-ventricular hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy with secondary formation of apical aneurysm is a rare variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They have a unique behavior because unlike other variants it causes sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, which makes it particularly severe.
