Abstract
Electrical storm can be caused by structural heart disease and/or functional electrical abnormalities. We report a young boy without cardiac risk factors, having positive family history of sudden cardiac death who presented with electrical storm. Stepwise diagnostic approach was not fruitful to determine previously known causes as the origin of the electrical storm. A new genotype related to the current electrical storm has been found, and intracardiac pacing ceased it.
