ABSTRACT
Ventricular arrhythmias are commonly associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with and without midventricular obstruction. Although the overall prognosis is relatively good with an annual mortality rate <1%, the propensity to potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia) is the most feared complication. Electrical storms are a severe manifestation of ventricular arrhythmias, with poor outcomes. In this report, we present a case of a young patient with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who presents after a syncopal episode and is found to have an electric storm that is refractory to medical therapy.
