Amiodarone Induced Thyrotoxicosis - Fluctuating RVOT and LV Scar VT.

Jayasree Pillarisetti1, Subba Reddy Vanga1, Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy1.   

Abstract

A 61 year old patient with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and implantable cardioverter defibrillator presented with multiple shocks for ventricular tachycardia (VT). EKG revealed monomorphic sustained VT which was left bundle inferior axis that spontaneously changed into sustained VT which was right bundle superior axis. This was suggestive of an outflow tract VT transforming into a VT probably related to reentry from LV scar. The patient was transferred to our university for VT ablation. However, further investigation revealed amiodarone induced hyperthyroidism which was the cause of his ventricular tachycardia storm. Reversible causes of VT should be considered before proceeding with radiofrequency ablation.
