AB  - A 67-year-old man who had cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) at home was admitted to 
      our institution. His spontaneous circulation was restored by bystander 
      cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by his wife and an automated 
      external defibrillator (AED). J waves were observed in the inferior leads of an 
      electrocardiogram. We performed an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) 
      implantation. After the ICD implantation, appropriate shocks due to ventricular 
      fibrillation (VF) were observed on interrogation of the ICD at a frequency of 
      twice a month. Most VF events occurred in the early morning between 1:00 to 6:00, 
      and ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) were detected just before the 
      occurrence of VF. Since the VF events always occurred in the early morning, we 
      started long-acting disopyramide (150 mg/day, before bedtime), which has a 
      muscarinic receptor blocking action. As a result, he has not received any 
      appropriate ICD shocks for more than two years.
