Abstract

A case of ventricular paroxysmal tachycardia with abnormal P waves is presented. As regard to the identification of P waves during paroxysm, the high gain electrocardiogram is more useful than the conventional electrocardiogram. The P wave abnormalities are considered to show left atrial overloading. The conduction disturbance in the atria may be the precipitating factor for the ventricular tachycardia.
