ELECTRICAL STORM WITH SHORT COUPLING INTERVAL: TREATMENT STRATEGY
Abstract
The results are given of assessment and treatment of a female patient, in whom repetitive episodes of ventricular tachycardia were documented within 24 hours with transition into ventricular fibrillation requiring repetitive electrical cardioversions; the problems of management of electrical storm are discussed.
