Long R-P' paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia: what is the mechanism?
Deciphering the electrophysiologic mechanism of a long R-P' paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia typically requires an invasive electrophysiologic study. We present a case where analysis of a simple surface 12-lead ECG was sufficient for the diagnosis.
