Degenerating regenerating torsades de pointes.

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) commonly ends in death. Isolated case reports describe the uncommon occurrence of spontaneous termination of VF. Torsades de pointes (TdP), a peculiar form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated with a prolonged QT interval on the surface electrocardiogram, most often spontaneously terminates and then returns to the underlying rhythm.
