title: Prolonged repolarization changes following ventricular tachycardia.
abstract: We have described an apparently healthy young man who presented with ventricular tachycardia of 12 hours' duration requiring cardioversion. Serial electrocardiograms showed persistent ST-T wave changes lasting for more than 40 days after cardioversion. These were attributed to the previous tachyarrhythmia in the absence of any evidence of heart disease at cardiac catheterization or clinically over a 5 year follow-up period.
