“…In their patients, exercise did not elicit VT, in contrast 54 to our patient . These patients may be part of a spectrum of abnormalities of sympathetic tone, but our patient's VT may have been related to her pregnancy ; this association has been previously noted [2] .…”

Exercise tests were done on all patients referred to us because of ventricular premature beats. Exercise-associated ventricular tachycardia was seen in three of these patients. Once therapy for the arrhythmia was begun in two patients, we performed serial exercise tests, attempting to provoke the arrhythmia again. In the third patients, who was pregnant, we advised against strenuous physical activity and will exercise her post partum to determine whether therapy is warranted. We have shown that exercise testing can be used successfully in unmasking ventricular arrhythmias not detectable on resting evaluation.

“…Ventricular tachycardia has been found in children and young adults with no detectable structural heart disease [2,4,6,7,9,10,14,15,[17][18][19]21,25,27,28,31,34,36] . The prognosis has varied, from benign to malignant .…”

“…To our knowledge 43 cases have been reported in the literature, 39 of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (1, 2, 4-7, 10-14, 16, 17, 19, 21-28, 30, 32, 36) and 4 of fibrillation (3,8,18,20). Only nine of these case reports provide data pertinent to an evaluation of long-term prognosis (1,11,14,16,27,30).…”

Summary A retrospective 3–20‐years follow‐up study of 1 infant and 10 children with paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (8 cases) or fibrillation (3 cases) is presented. Additional heart disease has been observed in 60% (myocarditis 3 cases, cardiomyopathy 3 cases, congenital heart disease 1 case). Symptoms of tachycardia were: palpitation, tiredness, weakness, dyspnoea, precordial and abdominal pain. Syncopes were observed in 3 cases; 1 child had no symptoms. Tachycardia of hours to days' duration have been noted in 8 patients, 7 had tachycardia of repetitive type with a‐v dissociation, one continuous tachycardia without any intervening sinus beats after the onset of tachycardia and with retrograde atrial activation. The remaining 3 children had brief malignant tachycardia, i.e. stress‐provoked bursts of ventricular activity occasionally converting to ventricular fibrillation causing syncope. The diagnosis of brief malignant tachycardia had to be based on exercise ECG (2 cases) or long‐term ECG‐monitoring by telemetry (one case). One child with cardiomyopathy had died at the time of follow‐up and the 3 patients with brief malignant tachycardia had experienced repeated life‐threatening attacks—one of which had to be stopped by emergency d.c. countershock. The period of attacks ceased in 5 cases within 2 years after onset, in 1 patient, 9 years elapsed between first and second attack. Preventive treatment with betablocking agents proved beneficial in the 3 children with brief malignant tachycardia.
