Of these, idiopathic cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is a rare type of non-genetic dilated cardiomyopathy. More specifically, the patient had suspected IDCM combined with sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT) of left ventricular basal segmental origin, cardiac systolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction (EF) of 29%. He had an abnormally large ventricular aneurysm (VA) in the posterior wall of the left ventricle with left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVDd) of 90 mm. We performed an endocardial radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the patient\u2019s recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) on the basis of an implantable cardioverter (ICD). Although minimally invasive RFCA also carries a high risk, it is currently a two-pronged option to improve the patient\u2019s quality of life and to prevent the recurrence of VT. Postoperatively, the patient was routinely given optimal anti-arrhythmic and heart failure (HF) treatments to improve cardiac function as well as being followed up for 9 months. The patient\u2019s EF ascended to 36% without any recurrence of VT. In summary, RFCA of suspected IDCM combined with VA and VT of basal area origin would be an effective treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12081955","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,14]],"date-time":"2022-08-14T21:09:06Z","timestamp":1660511346000},"page":"1955","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Double Gain: The Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Aneurysm Related Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia on a Tremendous Cardiac Outpouching"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kexin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou 215006, China"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"},{"name":"Institution for Hypertension of Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4553-4834","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yufeng","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"},{"name":"Institution for Hypertension of Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziyin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"},{"name":"Institution for Hypertension of Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yafeng","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou 215006, China"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Dushu Lake Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"},{"name":"Institution for Hypertension of Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1850","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehv727","article-title":"Proposal for a revised definition of dilated cardiomyopathy, hypokinetic non-dilated cardiomyopathy, and its implications for clinical practice: A position statement of the ESC working group on myocardial and pericardial diseases","volume":"37","author":"Pinto","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur.
