This malformation includes electrical conduction abnormalities, and very rarely ventricular arrhythmias. ⋯ The presentation of the disease with ventricular tachycardia associated with hemodynamic instability is extremely rare. We placed a surgical implantable cardiac defibrillator when the diagnosis of EA, SMVT, and right ventricular systolic impairment was confirmed.
