Parasystolic ventricular tachycardias in young healthy patients.
Seven patients with short episodes of parasystolic ventricular tachycardia, in the absence of organic heart disease, and in good healthy state, are presented. The tachycardic episodes were analyzed through simultaneous esophageal and standard electrocardiographic recordings. The persistent fetal dispersion of nodal and Hiss bundle fragments within the ventricular septum is proposed as a possible explanation.
