Description
Summary:© 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. A 66 year-old female with a previous medical history of hypertension and ischemic stroke was admitted in the Emergency Room with persistent regular palpitations. In the admission the patient had normal blood pressure and tachycardia. The remaining physical examination was unremarkable. The electrocardiogram showed ventricular tachycardia, 150 bpm (Fig. 1, Panel A), with an inferior axis and right bundle branch block pattern. Intravenous amiodarone was given resulting in conversion to sinus rhythm with intraventricular conduction delay.
