[Idiopathic recurrent ventricular tachycardia: role of verapamil in its treatment].
Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker ideally suited for the treatment of A-V nodal reciprocating supraventricular tachycardia. Most types of ventricular tachycardia are refractory to treatment with verapamil since they depend on sodium channels. However, a few cases of recurrent ventricular tachycardia are refractory to Type I antiarrhythmic agents and may respond to verapamil. We report 2 such cases.
