Recurrent VT or VF followed by frequent ICD shocks might thus put patients in a painful disaster. We presented a case of recurrent syncope diagnosed as recurrent VF by an implanted loop recorder (ILR). The VF was eliminated by radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of triggering ventricular premature complexes (VPCs). |
