The nightmare ECG of a spontaneously aborted sudden cardiac death

Abstract

We present the case of a spontaneously aborted sudden cardiac death related to an high-rate ventricular tachycardia in an healthy man with bileaflet mitral valve prolapse. An effective treatment of the patient, with complete suppression of ventricular ectopic activity, was achieved only combining medical therapy, ICD and catheter ablation, thus overcoming the limitations of each approach.
