Overview

Requires urgent multimodality intervention for electrical storm; leaves open optimal therapy sequencing pending prospective trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with electrical storm (cluster of ventricular arrhythmias)
I
Intervention
Multimodality approach including ICD management, pharmacologic therapy, catheter ablation and modulations of the autonomic nervous system

This review summarizes the definition, prognosis, and multimodality management of electrical storm, a medical emergency characterized by clustered ventricular arrhythmias.

Cite This Study

Elsokkari et al. (2021) conducted a review in Electrical storm. Multimodality management (ICD management, pharmacologic therapy, catheter ablation, autonomic modulation) was evaluated. Electrical storm, defined as 3 or more episodes of ventricular arrhythmia within 24 hours, is a medical emergency requiring a multimodality management approach.
