Cardiology Division, Faculty of Medicine, University of Piemonte Orientale Novara, Italy

A case of a patient with an automatic cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and recurrent ventricular arrhythmic storms related to primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcaemia is reported: medical therapy was ineffective and only surgical resection of the parathyroid adenoma resolved this complex clinical condition.

Key Words: hyperparathyroidism, arrhythmic storm, implantable cardioverter defibrillator
