“…Electrical storm, defined by Kowey et al [1] , as frequent or incessant ventricular fibrillation (VF) or haemodynamically destabilizing ventricular tachycardia (VT), may be associated with a poor prognosis. Storm tends to occur in the presence of acute myocardial infarction or worsening heart failure, and in patients without implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) a protracted period of time may pass from arrhythmia onset until treatment is delivered.…”

Background: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a well-known ominous complication of ischemic heart disease. While firmly structured algorithms have been developed for its management, yet its mortality rate remains high.Case Presentation: This is a case report of a 46-year-old gentleman who was a victim How to cite this article: Elmahrouk AF, Elghaysha E, Arafat AA, Edrees A, Aluthman U, Jamjoom AA.

Optimal antiarrhythmic drug therapy for electrical storm

Electrical storm, defined as 3 or more separate episodes of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation within 24 hours, carries significant morbidity and mortality. These unstable ventricular arrhythmias have been described with a variety of conditions including ischemic heart disease, structural heart disease, and genetic conditions. While implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation and ablation may be indicated and required, antiarrhythmic medication remains an important adjunctive therapy for these persons.
