Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the utility of contemporary ECG algorithms, such as the aVR criteria, in diagnosing simultaneous ventricular tachycardia and atypical atrial flutter in patients presenting with broad complex tachycardia.

May aid VT diagnosis in double tachycardia; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
A patient with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, and pre-existing atypical atrial flutter and left bundle branch block, developed broad complex tachycardia. In this unique and uncommon case of double tachycardia, we discuss the diagnostic approach of ventricular tachycardia in patients with broad complex tachycardia, and the use of different contemporary algorithms to help diagnose ventricular tachycardia and differentiate it from supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction.
