Case Report (n=1)
Ohsawa et al. (2019) conducted a case report in ST-elevation myocardial infarction with electrical storm (n=1). Ventricular overdrive pacing and electrical ablation was evaluated on Suppression of electrical storm. Ventricular overdrive pacing and subsequent electrical ablation successfully suppressed a drug-refractory electrical storm that occurred 11 days after an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
