Ventricular Tachycardia or Fibrillation Storm in Coronavirus Disease

Figure 5

Acute treatment of new episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT/VF) [40]. Recommendations for treatment of monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias based on clinical assessment and hemodynamic stability. The benefit of IV amiodarone treatment should be balanced against the polymorphic risk in patients taking QR-prolonging antiviral therapy.
