Abstract

Nineteen cases of ventricular tachycardia have been reviewed. The catastrophic character of the arrhythmia was impressive in eight cases (42 per cent). The question of therapy has been discussed with particular reference to the place of digitalis in the treatment of this arrhythmia. In cases of ventricular tachycardia not due to digitalis toxicity, digitalis merits a trial especially if procaine amide and quinidine have failed. © 1959.
