Abstract
Out-of-hospital ventricular tachyarrhythmia has a high mortality. Most patients sustaining this type of arrhythmia have an organic heart disease. In this case report we present a patient with recurrent ventricular fibrillation with the clinical appearance of syncope, where no relevant organic heart disease could be found at autopsy performed 40 years later.
