ABSTRACT
An 82 year old man presented with multiple syncopal episodes. Since his ECG showed LBBB (left bundle branch block) with first degree AV block, he was advised permanent pacemaker implantation. However, a wide QRS tachycardia on the Holter raised the possibility of tachycardia-mediated syncope. EP (electrophysiological) studies revealed easily and repeatedly inducible short lasting slow-fast AVNRT (atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia) with severe hypotension. After RF ablation of the slow pathway, he is asymptomatic at six month follow-up.
