[Double tachycardia: association of an atrial flutter and a fascicular ventricular tachycardia].
Double tachycardia is an uncommon type of tachycardia. We report the case of a 42-year-old patient, admitted in our department for palpitations. Two types of tachycardia, narrow and wide QRS one, have been documented in the moment of palpitations. The electrophysiology study highlights an atrial flutter and a fascicular ventricular tachycardia. The patient had no recurrence of palpitations after atrial flutter ablation and medical treatment by verapamil for his ventricular tachycardia. This is the first published case combining an atrial flutter and a ventricular tachycardia.
