Abstract

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has changed our lives and reshaped our approach to management of various cardiovascular diseases. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia, most often seen in patients with structural heart disease. If underlying ischemia is suspected, coronary angiography is usually performed on a non-elective basis. In patients with active COVID-19, additional risks of the procedure must be considered for patients and for operators. This case illustrates the management of suspected ischemic VT and discusses the dilemma physicians must face in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
