Description
A case with syncope on exertion and paced heart block is presented. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was seen on Holter monitoring and reproduced repeatedly by either exercise or an injection of an alpha agonist, but not with provocative electrophysiology. Antihypertensive treatment using a beta-blocker with endogenous sympathomimetic activity prevented recurrences. It is suggested that this is a case of pressure-related tachycardia.
