Abstract
We report the case of a patient who developed spontaneously a ventricular fibrillation during atrial fibrillation, 8 min after a perfusion of isoproterenol was stopped. Two mechanisms could explain the ventricular arrhythmia: silent ischaemia and a long-short cycle sequence just before ventricular fibrillation.
