Abstract
Biventricular pacing may result in precipitation of VT/VF storm in a minority of patients with prior history of VT/VF. This may be the first case series reporting both monomorphic and polymorphic VT after an upgrade to a system with biventricular pacing capabilities. The arrhythmias can be managed by conventional therapy and may require temporary discontinuation of left ventricular pacing. This observation is relevant to patients receiving a biventricular pacemaker without an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator backup.
