Abstract

We report a case of subacute myocarditis with severe heart failure referred for urgent cardiac transplantation. The patient had an episode of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia during the acute admission. Subacute myocarditis should be added to the limited differential diagnosis of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia.
