Key result
An extreme non-fatal tachyarrhythmia in a quadriplegic male reached an average ventricular conduction rate of about 600 beats per minute, likely due to rapid atrial fibrillation with 1:1 conduction.

Alerts clinicians to extreme rates possible with accessory pathways; extends documented conduction limits but remains hypothesis-generating.
Case Report (n=1)
This case reports the fastest human ventricular conduction rate noted in a tachyarrhythmia (600 bpm), likely due to rapid atrial fibrillation with 1:1 conduction via multiple bypass tracts.
Chhabra et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Extreme tachyarrhythmia (n=1). Extreme tachyarrhythmia was evaluated on Ventricular conduction rate. An extreme non-fatal tachyarrhythmia in a quadriplegic male reached an average ventricular conduction rate of about 600 beats per minute, likely due to rapid atrial fibrillation with 1:1 conduction.
