    • Abstract:
      Las taquicardiomiopatías por su fisiopatología de pérdida del acoplamiento miocárdico, proporcionan el sustrato adecuado para la disfunción ventricular que dan paso a arritmias ventriculares letales. Se reporta el caso de una paciente femenina de 75 años, sin antecedentes personales patológicos conocidos, que acude con historia de disnea de medianos esfuerzos que rápidamente progresa a disnea de pequeños esfuerzos asociado a palpitaciones. Posteriormente desarrolla taquicardia ventricular polimorfa no sostenida durante su estancia hospitalaria por lo que fue necesario realizar en dos ocasiones maniobras de reanimación con cardioversión eléctrica y el restablecimiento del ritmo sinusal con fármacos para mejorar la función del ventrículo izquierdo.

    • Abstract:
      Tachycardiomyopathies due to their pathophysiology of loss of myocardial coupling, provide the adequate substrate for ventricular dysfunction that leads to lethal ventricular arrhythmias. The following is the case of a 75-year-old female patient, with no known history, who presented with symptoms of advanced heart failure and atrial fibrillation, who later developed non-sustained polimorphic ventricular tachycardia during her hospital stay for which it was necessary to perform resuscitation maneuvers with electrical cardioversion on two separate occasions and the restoration of sinus rhythm with drugs to improve left ventricular function.
