Abstract :
This report describes a case of an electrical storm of Torsades De Pointes in a structurally normal heart, following an H1N1
infection in the presence of a genetic variant of unknown significance. The patient was successfully treated with isoproterenol.
This case highlights the dilemma of evaluating novel genetic testing results in a clinical setting.
