This case report demonstrates survival and eventual conversion to sinus rhythm after a prolonged 18-day episode of ventricular tachycardia complicating an acute myocardial infarction.
Beers et al. (1947) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia complicating myocardial infarction (n=1). Pronestyl and Quinidine was evaluated on Conversion to sinus rhythm. A 65-year-old man successfully converted to sinus rhythm after an 18-day episode of ventricular tachycardia complicating a myocardial infarction, following treatment with intravenous and oral quinidine.
