Abstract

An electrical storm ensued following multiple shocks by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The prevention of such electrical storms is prognostically important and includes revision of medical therapy, modification of ICD settings, cardiac sympathectomy, and ablations.

Keywords: catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia; electrical storm; implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
