TI  - Successful control of refractory ventricular premature beat with an 
      estrogen-progesterone compound.
PG  - 146-50
AB  - Drug resistant ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) in a 35-yr-old woman 
      were successfully controlled with a contraceptive agent containing 
      estrogen-progesterone. The VPCs in this patient always showed an R on T 
      phenomenon resulting in occasional short run of ventricular tachycardia. Apart 
      from the VPCs, her ECG exhibited no abnormalities. The family history revealed 9 
      instances of sudden unexpected death over 3 generations. The findings of 
      myocardial biopsy of the right ventricular endocardium were characteristic of 
      cardiomyopathy. This report discusses the possibility that a contraceptive agent 
      successfully suppressed VPCs in a particular woman who showed a close relation 
      between a certain period of her menstrual cycle and the occurrence of VPCs.
