ABSTRACT
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in patients of COVID -19 and frequently complicate the clinical course of critically ill patients. Life threatening arrhythmia including ventricular fibrillation less common but are reported to be more common in patients with elevated cardiac troponins. The mechanisms of arrhythmia in COVID 19 are multifactorial and arise from either direct cardiac involvement, from consequences systemic affection or drug interactions. The successful management requires correct identification of the cause. We report a case of VF storm in a patient with COVID 19 who responded to steroid therapy. Controlling the fulminant inflammation may reduce the burden of arrhythmia in appropriate cases.
