Regular, narrow QRS, long RP tachycardia – what is the mechanism?

چکیده
We report the case of a 45-year-old male patient who was referred to our department due to palpitations for the last six months, with documented episodes of regular, long RP, narrow QRS tachycardias (Fig. 1). The patient had no history of structural heart disease, his transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated normal systolic and diastolic function and the thyroid function tests were within normal limits.

Long RP interval tachycardia. What is the mechanism?
A 41-year-old man with a history of tachycardia refractory to multiple antiarrhythmic drugs was sent to our institution. His 12-lead electrocardiogram demonstrated incessant narrow QRS complex tachycardia with negative P waves in the inferior leads and long RP interval. Occasionally, the tachycardia terminated after a P wave and then was restarted after a sinusal beat. An EP study was performed...
متن کاملInteresting response of narrow QRS tachycardia to premature atrial complex. What is the mechanism?
Fig.1 shows a premature atrial complex (PAC) introduced during a narrow QRS tachycardia. What is the response and what is the interpretation? The tachycardia is a regular RBBB tachycardia with cycle length of 440 ms and ventriculo-atrial interval of 30 ms. There is near simultaneous activation of atrium and ventricle during tachycardia. Presence of His deflection prior to the QRS makes ventricu...
متن کاملA long RP tachycardia: what is the tachycardia mechanism?
A 75-year-old man underwent an electrophysiologic procedure because of recurrent palpitations and documented tachycardia. At baseline, there was sinus rhythm with right bundle branch block. Programmed stimulation demonstrated anterograde dual AV nodal physiology. A regular, long RP tachycardia with a cycle length of 540 msec and inverted P waves in the inferior leads was induced by atrial overd...
متن کاملNarrow QRS Tachycardia with Alternate Wide QRS Beats: What is the Mechanism?
A 44-year old lady underwent electrophysiology study for recurrent palpitations and documented narrow QRS regular tachycardia. The baseline ECG showed subtle preexcitation that was easily manifest on atrial pacing. The retrograde atrial activation sequence during ventricular pacing was eccentric suggesting retrograde conduction over the accessory pathway. A regular narrow QRS tachycardia with c...
متن کاملNarrow QRS tachycardia to wide QRS tachycardia with LBBB morphology. What is the mechanism?
A 42-year-old woman was referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation of narrow QRS tachycardia that was terminated with intravenous adenosine. Baseline twelve-lead ECG was normal during sinus rhythm and transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated no evidence of structural heart disease. The electrophysiological study showed a normal AH interval of 114 ms and HV interval of 37 ms during sinus r...
