[Ventricular arrhythmia in moderate essential arterial hypertension. Review of the literature apropos of 2 cases].
The authors report two observations of severe ventricular arrhythmias is two hypertensive patients without coronary disease. In the light of these observations and of a literature review, they recall the frequency of these arrhythmias, their possible role in the event of the sudden death of the hypertensive subject without coronary disease and their physiopathology, where the left ventricular hypertrophy is predominant. They also try to draw the practical guidelines for the management of the hypertensive patient.
