Implication

Documents rare spontaneous recovery from prolonged ventricular standstill; leaves open questions on mechanisms and should not change practice.

Key Points

Document a rare clinical presentation of prolonged symptomatic ventricular standstill that resolved without medical intervention.
Continuous ambulatory cardiac rhythm recording was obtained via a Holter electrocardiogram in a symptomatic patient.
Holter monitoring demonstrated a prolonged ventricular standstill episode lasting 111 seconds (approximately two minutes).
The cardiac standstill terminated spontaneously without external cardiopulmonary resuscitation or defibrillation.
