Retching and termination of ventricular tachycardia. Report of two cases.
Two patients had ventricular tachycardia that reverted to sinus rhythm during retching. These cases are consistent with recent experimental and clinical observations that suggest the presence of significant vagal innervation of the ventricles and an important vagal effect on some ventricular arrhythmias.
