Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) due to coronary vasospasm.
We report a case of a young woman who presented with atypical angina. During an episode of chest pain she had a documented run of sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). In addition to medical therapy, she received an ICD to prevent future episodes of sudden cardiac death.
