Wide complex tachycardia in a healthy young man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of a young man referred with a broad complex tachycardia for evaluation and ablation. Electrophysiological study was performed and revealed a left lateral accessory pathway with antegrade decremental conduction causing antidromic reciprocating re-entrant tachycardia. Ablation was successfully performed. Left lateral accessory pathways with decremental conduction are rarely encountered.

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is anautosomal dominantdisease characterized by muscle weakness or paralysis with a matching fall in blood potassium levels. Paralysis attacks often occur in adolescence and are induced by strenuous exercise followed by rest, high carbohydrateor high sodiummeal content, sudden changes in temperature, and even excitement, noise, flashing lights and cold temperature...
متن کاملShort QT syndrome and idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in a 28-year-old young man: a potential disease-specific link?
Short QT syndrome has been associated with both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias and life-threatening events. However, little is known about this syndrome. We introduce a healthy man with a short QT interval and left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia. Clinical case A 28-year-old man was admitted to the Emergency Department because of palpitations. He suffered from paroxysmal palpit...

There were no symptoms associated with the tachycardia. A 12...

Long QT syndrome is associated with lethal tachyarrhythmia that can lead to syncope, seizure, and sudden death. Congenital long QT syndrome is a genetic disorder, characterized by delayed cardiac repolarization and prolongation of the QT interval on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Type 2 congenital long QT is linked to mutations in the human ether a go-go-related gene (HERG). There are environment...
متن کاملWide-QRS-complex tachycardia with a negative concordance pattern in the precordial leads: Are the ECG criteria always reliable?
We present a case of wide-complex tachycardia with negative concordance in the precordial leads and a qR pattern in V6, in a 42-year-old man with risk factors for coronary artery disease, in whom the electrocardiogram criteria were apparently fallible. This case highlights the key contribution of the electrophysiological study in rendering correct diagnosis.
