    Abstract:
    Two patients, aged 52 and 55 years, were admitted to hospital for attacks of recurrent ventricular tachycardia for which preventive treatment was difficult. The crises were of one type, with left-sided delay. The findings on clinical examination, electrocardiography, haemodynamic and arteriographic investigation and at post-mortem were those of the parchment right ventricle syndrome of the adult. Electrophysiological investigation in the 2 cases indicated that a re-entry mechanism underlay the attacks of tachycardia. Late activation of the pulmonary infundibulum was responsible for a post-excitation potential on the surface and intra-cavitary leads. Mapping carried out during ventricular tachycardia in one case demonstrated the pathway for re-entry at the level of the pulmonary infundibulum.
