Abstract
Sudden arrhythmic death with structurally normal heart accounts for 5% of extrahospital deaths. There are 4 main pathologies that can lead to sudden death without cardiac structural alterations: long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome and catecholaminergic ventricular tachycardia. The ICD is the main device that is used for both primary and secondary prevention. Although the incidence of the emergencies of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators is scarce, effective management is essential for the good evolution of the patient.
