Response of recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia to verapamil.

Abstract

A 28-year-old man is described with no demonstrable organic heart disease and recurrent paroxysmal attacks of sustained ventricular tachycardia. Lignocaine and ajmaline failed to terminate the first attack but a bolus infection of verapamil succeeded. This drug was subsequently successful on six more occasions. During electrophysiological study of the eighth attack, slow intravenous administration of verapamil significantly reduced the rate of the tachycardia and prevented its subsequent reinitiation by pacing. Two mechanisms are postulated to explain both the arrhythmia and the beneficial effects of verapamil in this case.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
