2 Fig 1 Electrocardiogram tracing of leads II (top) and V5 (bottom) showing polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Some artifacts interfere with an accurate diagnosis. This was diagnosed to be torsade de pointes because an ECG after sinus rhythm was restored by DC cardioversion showed a markedly prolonged QTc interval.
