Abstract Most of the sudden cardiac deaths occur due to ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation(VF). VT is diagnosed when the ventricular rate is faster than 100 beats per minute with three or more irregular beats occurring in a row arising distal to bundle of His. It may arise from ventricular myocardium, distal conduction system or both. VF is a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia with high-frequency, disorganized ventricular myocardium excitation, resulting in failure of the heart to pump blood. We present a case report of a 58-year-old man who was admitted with antero-lateral ST segment elevation myocardial infarction ( STEMI) and had three episodes of ventricular tachycardia during first 24 hours of hospitalization, each episode lasting for at least 30 seconds (Electric storm).
