We report a patient who first presented during childhood in the early 1960's with several episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and we describe her management which reflected the best medical knowledge at the time. She then presented more than 50 years later, again with VT, at which time a definitive diagnosis of the underlying cause was made. Her case illustrates the evolution in the understanding and management of VT over the past 50 years. This in turn reflects the clinical and technological advances in the management of cardiovascular disease over time.
我们报告了一名患者，她在20世纪60年代初儿童时期首次出现几次室性心动过速（VT）发作，我们描述了当时基于最佳医学知识的治疗情况。50多年后，她再次出现室性心动过速，此时明确了潜在病因的诊断。她的病例说明了过去50年里对室性心动过速认识和治疗的演变。这反过来也反映了随着时间推移心血管疾病治疗方面的临床和技术进步。
