Ventricular Fibrillation in a Patient with Prominent J Wave in the Inferior and Lateral Electrocardiographic Leads After Gastrostomy

We describe the case of a 39‐year‐old man who experienced a ventricular fibrillation storm related to a prominent J wave in the inferior and lateral electrocardiographic leads on the day after gastrostomy. The J wave slowly decreased after amiodarone therapy (400 mg/day) was started, and ventricular...

Description
Summary:We describe the case of a 39‐year‐old man who experienced a ventricular fibrillation storm related to a prominent J wave in the inferior and lateral electrocardiographic leads on the day after gastrostomy. The J wave slowly decreased after amiodarone therapy (400 mg/day) was started, and ventricular fibrillation disappeared.
