A case of a borderline-broad complex tachycardia

Abstract

Prompt and correct treatment of broad complex tachycardias in the emergency department can often be life-saving to the patient and satisfying for the emergency physician. They, however, are often a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a case of posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia, an idiopathic form of ventricular tachycardia that occurs in patients without coronary artery disease and verapamil sensitive. The differential diagnoses of posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy will also be discussed.

“…Almost all children with SVT are young, healthy not suffering from structural cardiac disease or other comorbid conditions. Manifestations of SVT are quite variable; patients may present with minor palpitations or more severe symptoms such as dizziness, syncope, blurred vision, nausea and dyspnoea 5. In addition, SVT was reported to be a frequent cause of emergency room and primary care physician visits 6.…”
