title: [Ventricular tachycardia in a healthy child. Electrophysiological study and review of the literature].
abstract: Report of a healthy child with ventricular tachycardia is the reason for a review on the literature on this subject. Diagnosis can be made with usual electrocardiographic criteria and surely by electrophysiologic studies. Latter technique allows to study the origin, mechanism, efficiency of drugs and the type of pace-maker in case of drug treatment failure. Case report exemplifies all these aspects, and the essentials about etiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are mentioned in the literature review.
