Key result
Simultaneous AV nodal reentrant and ventricular tachycardias were observed during an electrophysiological study in a 51-year-old patient, likely initiated by AV nodal tachycardia after atropine.

Rare dual tachycardias may complicate EP studies after atropine; leaves open mechanistic and management questions.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the rare occurrence of simultaneous AV nodal reentrant and ventricular tachycardias during an electrophysiological study, facilitated by similar cycle lengths.
Belhassen et al. (1984) conducted a case report in Recurrent attacks of sustained ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Electrophysiological study with atrial extrastimulation and atropine was evaluated on Occurrence of simultaneous tachycardias. Simultaneous AV nodal reentrant and ventricular tachycardias were observed during an electrophysiological study in a 51-year-old patient, likely initiated by AV nodal tachycardia after atropine.
