Abstract
In a case of ventricular tachycardia of 62 days' duration, a 66-year-old man was successfully treated by direct-current countershock. It is believed that this case represents the longest duration on record of ventricular tachycardia in which the patient was successfully treated and able to resume normal activity. The ease with which the rhythm was corrected by direct-current countershock after unsuccessful drug therapy was indeed impressive. Three attacks of ventricular tachycardia during the subsequent nine months were also terminated successfully by direct-current countershock.
