“…The severity of symptoms in paroxysmal tachycardia in infants relates more closely to duration of the episode than to the rate (Hubbard, 1941) which again emphasises the necessity ofhaving an index ofsuspicion of the underlying problem. Fortunately one of our patients (Case 2) was resuscitated after cardiac arrest but infant deaths have been reported directly referable to the tachycardia (Werley, 1925;Kimball and Burch, 1947;Silverman and Werner, 1950;Engle, 1952) and it is conceivable that paroxysmal tachycardia may be a cause of sudden death in a seemingly healthy infant . Deaths have also been related to treatment (Nadas et al, 1952).…”

“…Dans certains cas, les crises de tachycardie paroxystique peu vent céder spontanément, dans d'autres, elles sont très tenaces (17), très récidivantes (11, 13, 21) ou même mortelles (3,36,37,40).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
