Peri-aortic region is one of the arrhythmogenic foci associated not only with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT), but also scar-related VT in patients with an apparently normal heart[1-3]. A recent study reported that the patients with scar-related VT were significantly older, had a frequent history of hypertension, and inducibility of multiple monomorphic VTs compared to the patients with idiopathic VT [2].  However, whether these clinical features are the causes of the peri-aortic scar or innocent by-standers, remain uncertain. Here, we present a relatively young normotensive patient with a peri-aortic scar and emphasize the importance of cardiac MRI to detect latent arrhythmogenic substrates.
