Abstract

Deterioration of atrial fibrillation into ventricular fibrillation has frequently been described in patients with pre-excitation of the ventricles. We report two cases of atrial fibrillation without pre-excitation leading to rapid ventricular tachycardias and recurrent implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy in young idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients.
