“…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.

VENTRICULAR tachycardia in infancy and childhood is rare. Review of the English literature for the past 35 years discloses only 25 examples in patients under 15 years of age. Only three of these occurred in the first year of life. This report concerns a case of ventricular tachycardia in an infant with cyanotic congenital heart disease and successful treatment of the problem with procainamide and diphenylhydantoin.
