Abstract
Case: A 41-year-old man with no prior cardiac history and a history of
regular narrow QRS tachycardia, presenting with frequent paroxysmal
palpitations, was referred to our institution. The tachycardia was
adenosine-sensitive, leading to the acute termination of the
tachycardia. The baseline electrocardiogram was unremarkable. During an
electrophysiology study (EPS), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) was
easily induced by ventricular extrastimuli. Figure
[1](#fig-cap-0003) shows a single ventricular extrastimulus applied
from the right ventricular apex (RVa) during the tachycardia, and this
finding was reproducible. Questions: What is the mechanism of the
observed response? What are the clinical implications?
