Bundle-branch re-entrant ventricular tachycardia (BBRVT) is usually seen in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis should be suspected in case the QRS morphology during the tachycardia is identical to that in sinus rhythm. Identifying patients with BBRVT is important because they can be easily treated by catheter ablation. This report describes a patient previously implanted with a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) presenting with an electrical storm due to BBRVT.
