Case report: electrical storm during induced hypothermia in a patient with early repolarization

Abstract Background Population based studies showed an association of early repolarization in the electrocardiogram (ECG) and a higher rate of sudden cardiac death presumably due to ventricular fibrillation. The triggers for ventricular fibrillation in patients with early repolarization are not full...
