Old but not Vain : Two Cases of Refractory Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia associated with Coronary Artery Disease successfully treated with Quinidine
Post-myocardial infarction polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) triggered by injured Purkinje fi bres can cause VT storms that are refractory to various treatment even after successful reperfusion or revascularization. We report recurrent polymorphic VT in two post-myocardial infarction patients after percutaneous coronary intervention. Both of them responded readily to Quinidine. We also discussed the pathophysiology of this arrhythmia and the treatment options for it, namely catheter ablation and anti-arrhythmic drugs
