Amiodarone Refractory Electrical Storm Post-Revascularization for Anterior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report and Brief Review of the Literature.

"Electrical storm" is a life-threatening condition defined as the occurrence of at least two episodes of malignant ventricular arrhythmia in a 24-hour period despite anti-arrhythmic therapy. It leads to unpredictable degrees of clinical instability - in the most severe cases mechanical support for circulation and oxygenation and for definitive therapy radiofrequency ablation or cardiac sympathetic denervation. We describe a case of medication refractory electrical storm complicating severe left ventricular dysfunction after an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
