Abstract

Ventricular arrhythmia storm is a potentially life-threatening clinical event that - requires immediate intervention.1-3 Therapeutic strategies include antiarrhythmic - drug therapy, deep sedation, cardiac pacing, catheter ablation, and the use of cardiac - assist systems.1,4 Only recently, a novel innovative therapeutic approach has been - successfully established in patients with refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). - Cuculich and colleagues5 presented a series of 5 patients with recurrent VT episodes - that could be successfully treated with noninvasive cardiac radiation using a single - fraction of 25 Gy targeting the suspected VT exit site and the associated ventricular - scar.
