Abstract

A 27-year-old woman presented with palpitations and was found to have episodes of a non-sustained wide complex tachycardia. In this report, we discuss a differential diagnosis for the patient's wide complex tachycardia and the important ECG findings which lead to her diagnosis. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
