SHORT COMMUNICATIONS
Wide complex tachycardia in a healthy young man
Service de Rythmologie, Hôpital Cardiologique Haut Lévêque, Avenue de Magellan, Pessac 33600, France
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.
Key Words: Accessory pathway, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Mahaim, Catheter Ablation
