In this study — Procainamide was superior to Amiodarone for terminating monomorphic VT, as well as having fewer adverse effects than Amiodarone ( Ortiz et al — Eur Heart J 1;38 (17): 1329-1335, 2017 ). The decision was made to try Quinidine ( as this case was felt to represent conditions consistent with Quinidine-responsive PMVT ).
