Electrical storm in dilated cardiomyopathy treated using epicardial radiofrequency ablation as a first line therapy

Electrical storm in dilated cardiomyopathy treated using epicardial radiofrequency ablation as a first line therapy

We report a patient with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and low left ventricular systolic function (28%) presenting with an electrical storm originated in epicardial scar and ablated by radiofrequency. This case report suggests that a strategy of epicardial catheter ablation is reasonable for t...
