Abstract

We describe a case report of a patient with cardiac arrest and Ebstein’s anomaly. This case report shows us necessity for arrhythmia evaluation and sudden death risk stratification even in asymptomatic patients. Prophylactic ICD im- plantation in this patient population is limited to observational studies and the selection of patients is impeded by the absence of randomized trials and weak predictors.
