Wide complex tachycardia in a healthy young man.
We describe a case of a young man referred with a broad complex tachycardia for evaluation and ablation. Electrophysiological study was performed and revealed a left lateral accessory pathway with antegrade decremental conduction causing antidromic reciprocating re-entrant tachycardia. Ablation was successfully performed. Left lateral accessory pathways with decremental conduction are rarely encountered.
