摘要
Torsades de pointes (TdP) is a less common type of ventricular tachycardia (VT) characterized by polymorphic VT of changing amplitude and characteristic twists around the isoelectric baseline. It is almost always associated with QT interval prolongation. Unless immediately intervened, it can lead to ventricular fibrillation followed by cardiac arrest. We report a case of a patient with bradycardia-induced TdP who presented to the emergency room with cardiac arrest.
