Abstract
We present herein a case of cough-induced nonsustained ventricular tac hycardia for which we found no definitive explanation. It could be an anomaly, but this so far unreported clinical fact is worth noting. Not withstanding this interesting case, we believe that cough can be recom mended as a safe and efficacious technique for overcoming hypotensive cardiac arrhythmias.
