The patient was started on amiodarone, anticoagulation, and metoprolol, and scheduled for atrial flutter ablation. He underwent ablation in the EP Lab.

This progressed to electrical storm , with incessant PolyMorphic Ventricular Tachycardia ( PMVT ) and recurrent episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation ( VFib ). The patient improved, and on Day-11 of the hospital stay — he was off inotropes and on a small dose of a ß-blocker. He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours.

During observation in the ED the patient had multiple self-terminating runs of Non-Sustained monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (NSVT). The patient has been scheduled for a PVC ablation procedure. This patient very likely has some form of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia. Potassium and magnesium serum levels were normal.

At the present time, up to 97% of children with CHD live to reach adulthood — and over 75% of children with CHD who reach 18 years of age, go on to live past middle age ( Dellborg et al — Circulation 147(12):930-938, 2023 ). That said, the PR interval generally shortens with tachycardia. As a technical point — the PR interval of 0.20
