Summary:A young man presented following successful cardiac resuscitation after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. During his admission, he had multiple runs of short-coupled ventricular fibrillation with a similar morphology premature ventricular complex (PVC) trigger. He was brought to the electrophysiology laboratory, and, with a high dose of isoprenaline, the PVC was localised to the moderator band. Ablation induced short runs of ventricular tachycardia before elimination of the PVC. He subsequently underwent subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator implantation before his discharge.
