Background The diagnostic work‐up for cardiac arrest from ventricular tachyarrhythmias occurring in younger adults and structurally normal hearts is variable and often incomplete. Methods We reviewed records for all recipients of a secondary prevention implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) younger...
