Letter to the Editor

Thank you for the opportunity of replying to Dr. Fareau. I gather from his letter that he disagrees with our diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Dr. Fareau is absolutely correct in his analsis of the ventricular rate in our Figure 1. Indeed, the rate is 300, and not 150 as noted. In actuality, ventricular rates varied from 125 to 300 with varying degrees of exit block from the parasystolic focus. A rate of 300 does not exclude VT.
