title: Diastolic wave initiating ventricular tachyarrhythmias and suppressible by lignocaine and isoprenaline.
abstract: A patient is described with ventricular tachycardia and premature beats (VPB) probably initiated by a diastolic wave, which--like the VPBs--could be eliminated by lignocaine and isoprenaline.
