Armbrust and Levine1in a review of 107 cases reported no organic heart disease in 13. This series included all cases seen at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital and in the private practice of the latter author from 1915 to 1948. At the Massachusetts General Hospital, Cooke and White2found only 24 cases of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia among 51,000 records of 25,000 patients in the cardiographic laboratory over a period of 25 years, from 1914 to 1939. Of these 24 cases, four had apparently normal hearts....Bibliography1. ArmbrustLevine CASA: Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. A study of 107 cases, Circulation 1: 28, 1950.
