Abstract

This image highlights a 38-year-old female with ventricular fibrillation and spontaneous return to sinus rhythm found on an implantable loop recorder inserted for recurrent syncope. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, a rare inherited arrhythmia disorder.
