Stabilization of cardiac rhythm in subsequently fatal ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation by calcitonin gene-related peptide

A potentially fatal arrhythmia was encountered in a patient with a previous myocardial infarction, who was resistant to treatment with lidocaine, amiodarone and electric defibrillation. Calcitonin gene-related peptide stabilized ventricular fibrillation and flutter,but the patient subsequently died.
