Key result
Methoxamine and sleep abolish repetitive nonsustained VT by slowing heart rate when conventional antiarrhythmics fail.
Why the study?
The mechanisms and treatment responses of repetitive nonsustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia dependent on basic heart rate were unclear in a patient without detectable heart disease.
Does methoxamine and sleep abolish repetitive nonsustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in a patient with heart rate-dependent VT?

Does methoxamine and sleep abolish repetitive nonsustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in a patient with heart rate-dependent VT?
In a case of heart rate-dependent ventricular tachycardia, slowing the basic heart rate with methoxamine or sleep successfully abolished the arrhythmia when conventional antiarrhythmics failed.
Ohe et al. (1991) conducted a case report in Repetitive nonsustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Methoxamine and sleep vs. Verapamil, propranolol, and disopyramide was evaluated on Abolition of ventricular tachycardia. Methoxamine and sleep abolished repetitive nonsustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia by slowing the basic heart rate, whereas conventional antiarrhythmics failed.
