[Recurrent torsades and asystole without structural heart disease].

We report on a 67-year-old female patient with recurrent syncope induced by asystole and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia without relevant structural heart disease. After secondary prophylactic ICD implantation, beta-blocker and flecainide therapy, the patient suffered from recurrent syncope and ICD shocks due to ventricular fibrillation. A rare cause of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in patients without structural heart disease was found and successfully treated.
