EP News: Case Reports

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) storm is a life-threatening condition that is often managed by antiarrhythmic drug therapies, catheter ablation, general anesthesia, and ventricular support devices. Radiotherapy for VT has shown early promise as a noninvasive therapy to reduce risk of recurrent VT. No data exist on the role of radiotherapy for VF storm. Scholz et  al (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hrcr.2019.03.004) shared a case of a 53-year-old man who presented with VF storm after a recent presentation with anterior myocardial infarction.
