Short-coupled premature ventricular contractions in a young male with sudden cardiac arrest
Short-coupled premature ventricular contractions are a rare cause of sudden cardiac arrest.The diagnosis is based on the demonstration of characteristic electrocardiogram findings and the exclusion of other etiologies including structural, ischemic, and primary electrical disease.Treatment involves pharmacotherapy, implantable cardioverter defibrillator placement, and cardiac ablation.
