Abstract

Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia is generally regarded as an ominous condition, largely because it occurs as a complication of acute myocardial infarction. The following case reports emphasize that even very severe attacks of ventricular tachycardia, when not associated with acute cardiac damage, may be followed by complete recovery. The purpose of this communication is also to emphasize the fact that quinidine is useful in this condition. In one of the cases, effective treatment by means of parenteral injections of quinine is illustrated.
