Implication

Quinidine may aid paroxysmal VT control in select cases; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.

Structured PICO

P
Population
107 cases of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, mostly associated with acute coronary thrombosis or coronary sclerosis, some with rheumatic valvular disease, and others with no organic heart disease.
I
Intervention
Antiarrhythmic therapy including quinidine, magnesium sulfate, atropine, potassium salts, and possibly morphine.

Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia is a critical condition often associated with coronary disease, but can be effectively controlled with therapies such as quinidine.
