Abstract

We present herein a case of cough-induced nonsustained ventricular tachycardia for which we found no definitive explanation. It could be an anomaly, but this so far unreported clinical fact is worth noting. Notwithstanding this interesting case, we believe that cough can be recommended as a safe and efficacious technique for overcoming hypotensive cardiac arrhythmias.
