Arrhythmic storm from ischemic ventricular fibrillation treated with intravenous quinidine.

Abstract

We present a case who developed an acute right ventricular infarction. The leads demonstrating ST-segment elevation were different than those expected based on previous publications. We explain why this happened with the aid of 3-dimentional imaging. Our case then developed an arrhythmic storm caused by ischemic ventricular fibrillation (VF). Emergency revascularization failed and the VF-storm failed to respond to sedation, lidocaine and amiodarone but responded to intravenous quinidine.
