  Abstract

Effective treatment of recurrent drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia is difficult, and conventional pharmacological and interventional approaches are often ineffective. We present a novel case report illustrating the potential use of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in such patients.

Keywords: Ventricular arrhythmia; Pharmacology; Omega-3 fatty acids; Implantable defibrillator.
