| Abstract: | Sustained ventricular tachycardia complicating left ventricular apical aneurysms has been reported previously solely in middle‐aged patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and mid‐cavity obstruction. We report a case of an elderly female patient who presented with incessant ventricular tachycardia as the first clinical manifestation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with mid‐ventricular obstruction and apical aneurysm. |
