Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in LMNA Cardiomyopathy: Out of Sight but not Out of Mind

Lamin Cardiomyopathy (LC) is associated with refractory ventricular arrhythmias. Catheter ablation success rate is low due to presence of multiple circuits and intramural substrate. We present a LC case presented with electrical storm. During catheter ablation, arrhythmia was easily inducible but activation mapping, including full epicardial and endocardial mapping, failed to demonstrate the full tachycardia cycle length (70% only) suggesting intramural activation. Critical isthmus was not identified even with successful concealed entrainment on both Endo/epicardial surfaces. This case shows that even combined endocardial and epicardial catheter approach can be ineffective in identifying the full arrhythmogenic substrate in LC.
