Ablation and cardiac resynchronization therapy were utilized as a treatment strategy for a patient with an electrical storm resistant to pharmacological and ICD therapies.
Ablation plus CRT may be considered in refractory electrical storm; leaves open need for prospective validation of efficacy and selection.
76 years old patient after the ICD implantation as a primary prevention of sudden cardiac death was admitted to the hospital because of the electrical storm which presented in ECG as a variety ventricular arrhythmia. Because of patients’ resistance for pharmacological treatment and antiarrhythmic therapies delivered from ICD, we performed an ablation and implemented the resynchronization therapy of the heart.
