摘要
To the editor： In March 2009, a 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for chest discomfort that had lasted for 12 hours. ECG revealed frequent ventricular premature beats and a complete right bundle branch block. Serum CK and cardiac troponin I was normaL. Serum biochemistry and blood gas analysis were unremarkable. During hospitalization, she had frequent syncope and ventricular tacbycardia/fibrillation （VT/VF） （Figure 1A）. The VT/VF required electric shock more than 68 times. Treatment with several antiarrhythmic drugs including amiodarone, lidocaine, verapamil, propafenone, and esmolol was attempted but failed. We administered a bolus of the propofol intravenously to decrease the sympathetic activity which might be associated with the VT/ VF storm.
