Treatment was continued with digoxin, diuretics and nifedipine (one case) and captopril (two cases).
At 16 years of age, a routine 24-h tape showed runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia so digoxin was stopped.

One patient with atrial flutter alternating with fibrillation required digoxin to control rapid ventricular rate.
