- A good excuse for skipping the test: electrical storm in a teenagerPublication . Rodrigues, P.; Pinheiro-Vieira, A.; Loureiro, M.; Álvares, S.; Anjo, D.; Roque, C.; Sousa, M.; Torres, S.We describe the case of a teenager with a structurally normal heart that presented with torsades de pointes and cardiac arrest. He had a history of epilepsy in childhood, mild cognitive impairment and cognitive visual dysfunction. The baseline electrocardiogram had prominent J waves and a marked early repolarization pattern in all the leads, with normal QT interval. We discuss the differential diagnosis for this interesting case, as well as the patient's management.
