A 13 year old boy having idiopathic ventricular tachycardia had non-inducible tachycardia twice on electrophysiology (EP) study due to suppression of arrhythmia by local anaesthetic agent, lignocaine. This case report demonstrates a cause of non-inducibility or arrhythmia during EP study and effect of lignocaine in suppression of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.
