  Fig. 1 A: Presenting electrocardiogram showing ventricular tachycardia at 200 beats/min. B: Electrocardiogram revealing sinus rhythm with deep T-wave inversion in the anterior leads after intravenous procainamide administration. C: Left ventriculography demonstrating mid-ventricular obliteration. D and E: Two-dimensional echocardiography. F: Contrast echocardiography. G and H: Three-dimensional echocardiography, showing left mid-ventricular hypertrophy with an apical aneurysm. I: Intraventricular flow velocity of 4 m/s.
