Pandemic H1N1 influenza A virus is spreading worldwide. We report a case of electrical storm during H1N1 influenza A infection in a patient with congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) that was previously stable on β-blocker therapy. Possible causes for the association of A flu and LQTS recurrent ventricular arrhythmias are discussed.
