Electrical storm as initial presentation of arrhytmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in an elderly woman.
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is an unusual cause of electrical storm in the elderly. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with no previous known disease who developed recurrent ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Postmortem examination revealed histological features of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
