Abstract
The authors report the case of a 73-year-old patient presenting with p olymorphous ventricular tachycardias one to 3 months after radiofreque ncy His bundle resection, as soon as the pacing frequency was reduced to 70 bpm. The clinical history revealed the existence of a possible c linical predisposition, as this patient had experienced an episode of torsade de pointe induced by hydroquinidine, one year previously, This case illustrates the importance of selecting a sufficiently high mini mal stimulation frequency after His bundle resection.
