VEGA-ESPINOSA, David A.; CAMPO-RIVERA, Natalia; BEDOYA-TOVAR, David  and  GIL-RONCANCIO, Efraín. Ventricular tachycardia associated to a mutation in the ankyrin B gen. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol.

We report a case of a 14-year-old with tachycardiomyopathy due to ventricular tachycardia. A variant of uncertain significance of the ANK2 gene was identified, which is suggestive of a possible ankyrin-B syndrome. The patient underwent a successful radiofrequency ablation. After the procedure, the patient completely recovered her left ventricular function and there was resolution of the premature ventricular complexes and ventricular tachycardia.

Keywords : Tachycardiomyopathy; Ventricular tachycardia; Ankyrin-B; ANK2.
