Three pediatric patients with recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia, which is reported to be a relatively rare arrhythmia in infancy and child-hood, were evaluated by electrophysiologic and histopathologic method. Electrophysiologic studies revealed microreentrant tachycardia in all three patients.

Two of them were performed programmed ven-tricular stimulation to evaluate the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs. Ventricular tachycardia was easily induced by the programmed vetricular stimulus method at the critical tachycardia zone in the two patients. After the administration of an-tiarrhythmic drugs intravenously, tachycardia zone changed significantly though complete dis-appearance of tachycardia zone was obtained. Following oral administration of antiarrhythmic drugs evaluated, frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia diminished markedly. Programmed ventricular stimulation has widely used to evaluate ventricular tachycardia in adult, but only a few trials has been performed in the children with ventricular tachycardia. This method is easy and safe for infants and childen. Histopathologic findings by endomyocardial biopsy were as follows : Two of them revealed the findings of suggestive cardio-myopathy, and one showed the findings of myocar-ditis.

Conclusion : 1) Electrophysiologic studies, especially programmed ventricular stimulation, was also as useful method to evaluate effective antiarrhythmic drugs in the children with RSVT as in adult with chronic ventricular tachycardia.2) His topathologic studies by endornyocardial biopsy should be tried in the children who show recurrent ventriclar tachycardia or dysrhythmia complexes.
