51 years old male patient with palpitations, who had ischemic T changes and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia attacks in the electrocardiography was admitted at another hospital. There was no any cardiac symptom before addmission in medical history. In echocardiography , Ejection Fraction: 35%, left ventricular global hypokinesia and apical hypertrophy were detected. Coronary angiography was revealed normal coronary arteries. The patient was referred to our clinic for further treatment. We took cardiac magnetic resonance image for etiology of cardiomyopathy. According to MRI results, we determined very wide scar areas in the left ventricle. We implanted ICD to the patient and discharged him without any complication.
