Managing a ventricular tachycardia storm: Looking beyond the horizon

Abstract

The case highlights the possibility of nonischemic cardiomyopathy in patients with coronary artery disease and the complex nature of the isthmus with multiple entry and exit points. A combination of multiple strategies, that is, unipolar mapping, isochronal late activation mapping during sinus rhythm, and positioning of a multielectrode catheter at the putative isthmus during VT induction in the case of hemodynamically unstable VT, was used to achieve a successful outcome.
