He was defibrillated into VT. He then underwent dual sequential defibrillation into asystole. VF should make you think of ischemia, cardiomyopathy (especially scar from old MI), or one many other cardiac but non-ischemic etiologies. This patient was witnessed by bystanders to collapse. They started CPR. sodium bicarbonate.

After resuscitation and defibrillation , there were no more episodes of TdP. Below is the patient’s 12 lead ECG following defibrillation. The patient was diagnosed with stress cardiomyopathy. Widespread T wave inversions and prolongation of the QT interval is not uncommon in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
