Ketamine Terminating Persistent Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an arrhythmia associated with sudden cardiac death. VT storm is a complication of persistent VT requiring immediate antiarrhythmic therapy. In refractory cases, adjunctive therapy includes sedation/mechanical ventilation or catheter ablation. This case highlights a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy in refractory VT storm terminated by administration of ketamine.
