Abstract

There is a steady increase in the incidence of intra-cardiac device complications in patients with structural heart diseases. Cardiac electrical storm is associated with deleterious clinical and psychological sequelae. Management can be challenging in a resource-poor environment. Old anti-arrhythmic medications can still be effective when conventional ones fail.
