Ventricular tachycardia in iron man

The appropriate management of patients presenting with iron-overload cardiomyopathy and ventricular tachycardia often has to be individualized. We present a case of a young man presenting with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia as a result of iron-overload cardiomyopathy and discuss the management of the case.

We review the evidence for t...
