title: Ventricular Tachycardia Storm in Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A 76-Day-ICU-Nightmare.
abstract: Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is a life threatening complication in a patient with Cardiac Sarcoidosis. The management becomes extremely challenging when it is refractory to traditional anti-arrhythmic drugs. Herein, we describe a case where a 33-year-old patient with VT storm, with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), was managed by medications, sedation, ventilator support and multiple Radio-Frequency (RF) ablation procedures over 76-days ICU stay period.
