The imperfect storm: An uncommon presentation of Chagas disease. 

 -  2022 
<br/><br/> Electrical storm is defined as three or more sustained episodes of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or appropriate cardioverter-defibrillator shocks during a 24-h period. These patients are notoriously difficult to manage. We present a case secondary to Chagas disease that was responsive to lidocaine. Although an uncommon presentation, given the large-scale population movement from South America, Chagas has an increased incidence and is an important diagnostic consideration in patients with new onset heart failure, arrhythmia, or electrical storm.
