Requires awareness of divergent therapy for arsenic-related VT; single case leaves open need for systematic study.

To document a rare case of life-threatening atypical ventricular tachycardia occurring secondary to acute, severe arsenic intoxication.
Clinical evaluation and cardiac monitoring of a 57-year-old male presenting with multisystem symptoms of arsenic poisoning.
Electrophysiological assessment to characterize ventricular dysrhythmia patterns and guide emergency pharmacological therapy.
Severe arsenic toxicity induced life-threatening, atypical ventricular tachycardia alongside multisystem symptoms including severe gastrointestinal distress, hearing deficit, and sensory neuropathy.
Identification of atypical morphology is critical because optimal treatment diverges substantially from standard therapies for conventional ventricular tachycardia.

Population

1 patient, 57-year-old man with severe arsenic poisoning

Outcome

Atypical ventricular tachycardia

Highlights the rare but life-threatening cardiac manifestation of atypical ventricular tachycardia in severe arsenic poisoning.
