Abstract
A 93-year-old man with a known history of heart failure and a biventricular pacemaker inserted in 2012 presented with symptomatic palpitations and pre-syncope whilst watching Boris Johnson debating on live TV. He had known heart failure and biventricular pacemaker which had been inserted in 2011. His ECG confirmed ventricular tachycardia which was successfully cardioverted to sinus rhythm following an emergency cardioversion. He made an unremarkable recovery and was treated with increased Beta blockers and advised ‘less Boris’.
