Overview

Case report reveals wide QRS tachycardia in ischemic cardiomyopathy, suggesting safe radiofrequency ablation options.

Key Points

  • To discuss antidromic atrioventricular re-entry tachycardia as a differential diagnosis for wide QRS tachycardia.
  • Case report of a 59-year-old male with ischemic cardiomyopathy and recurrent tachycardia.
  • Electrophysiology study identified left posterolateral accessory pathway.
  • Radiofrequency ablation was performed to eliminate pre-excitation followed by ICD implantation.
  • Identification of antidromic AVRT as an underlying cause of wide QRS tachycardia.
  • Successful radiofrequency ablation eliminated the re-entry circuit without complications.
