Drug refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurring as a storm after acute myocardial infarction has grave prognosis. We report a case of a middle-aged lady who presented with drug refractory VT that lead to persistent electrical storm two weeks after an anterior wall myocardial infarction. She underwent a successful catheter ablation of VT followed a few days later by implantation of an AICD. Catheter ablation of the VT could control the persistent electrical storm and the patient was free from a recurrence of VT at three month follow up.
急性心肌梗死后出现的药物难治性室性心动过速(VT)风暴预后严重。我们报告一例中年女性病例,该患者在前壁心肌梗死后两周出现药物难治性室性心动过速,导致持续性电风暴。她接受了成功的室性心动过速导管消融术,几天后植入了自动植入式心脏除颤器(AICD)。室性心动过速的导管消融术可控制持续性电风暴,在三个月的随访中患者未出现室性心动过速复发。
