Hypothesis
The coexistence of idiopathic verapamil sensitive left ventricular tachycardia (ILVT) with other arrhythmias is rare.
Conclusion
The case highlights the importance of searching for dual atrioventricular node physiology and AVNRT in patients with ILVT.
Supporting Evidence
- The patient had a history of frequent episodes of palpitations.
- Two arrhythmias were induced during the electrophysiologic study.
- Radiofrequency catheter ablation was successful for AVNRT.
Takeaway
This study is about a patient who had two types of heart rhythm problems, and doctors used a special procedure to fix them both.
Methodology
Radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed on both arrhythmias in two sessions.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Participant Demographics
30-year-old male with no structural heart disease.
