Coexisting ventricular and blocked atrial parasystole.

A rare instance showing non-conducted atrial parasystole coexisting with ventricular parasystole is presented and a related subject is briefly discussed. The importance of recognizing parasystole is again emphasized because the ordinary extrasystoles, particularly ventricular in origin, are frequently digitalis-induced, while parasystole, which superficially resembles the ordinary extrasystoles, does not seem to be related to digitalis.
