Atrial Fibrillation-triggered Ventricular Fibrillation in a Patient with Early Repolarization Syndrome

A 54-year-old man with early repolarization syndrome (ERS) implanted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) developed persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) three years after the implantation. Similarly, the remote monitoring system begun frequently detecting ventricular fibrillation (VF)...

description A 54-year-old man with early repolarization syndrome (ERS) implanted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) developed persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) three years after the implantation. Similarly, the remote monitoring system begun frequently detecting ventricular fibrillation (VF) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT). Longer RR intervals were repeatedly observed just before the initiation of PVT/VF. Catheter ablation for AF successfully diminished both the PVT and VF events.
