Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Presenting With VT Electrical Storm.
J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect
January 2025
Corewell Health South, Saint Joseph, MI, USA.
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a right ventricular disease caused by desmosomal gene mutations leading to fibro-fatty replacement of the myocardium causing ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (VT). A 59-year-old female presented with new onset VT manifesting as shortness of breath and chest discomfort. Diagnostic workup revealed right ventricular dilation/dysfunction on echocardiogram, VT with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and diffuse T wave inversions (TWIs) on EKG.

Department of Cardiology, Wellstar Medical College of Georgia Health, Augusta, GA, USA.
Background: In cases of electrical storm, identifying the etiology is essential, as patients with reversible causes do not benefit from implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Given the diversity of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic management tools available for hemodynamically unstable patients in electrical storm, all must be considered and tailored to each individual patient.
Case Description: This report describes a 36-year-old female without prior cardiac history who presented in ventricular fibrillation (VF) electrical storm.
Long term outcomes post-ICD in Chagas cardiomyopathy and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy: A comparative analysis.
Int J Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Public Health, Universidade Federal do Ceara, Fortaleza, Brazil.
Background: Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a significant cause of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although, implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) have been used for all forms of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), studies on ICD efficacy in CCM are scarce.
Objective: The present study aims to compare the long-term outcomes, mortality rates, and the occurrence of tachycardia therapies after ICD implantation in patients with CCM and NICM.
Can ICD Electrograms Help Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation?: Results From the Multicenter Randomized AIDEG-VTA Trial.

Electrophysiology Laboratory and Arrhythmia Unit, Centro Integral de Enfermedades Cardiovasculares, Hospital Monteprincipe, Grupo HM Hospitales, Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:
Background: The results of ablation of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) are suboptimal. For many patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), ICD electrograms (ICD-EGs) provide the only available information on SMVT. ICD-EGs have the ability to distinguish morphologically distinct SMVT and can be used for pace mapping.

Department of Internal Medicine and Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, University Hospital Ostrava, University of Ostrava, 17. listopadu 1790, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth is the most common inherited neuromuscular disorder. Rarely, it can be associated with heart failure and various arrhythmic disturbances. This case illustrates the challenges of making decisions to prevent sudden cardiac death in a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
