Abstract
We report a case of an elderly man who presented to the emergency room complaining of palpitations. Electrocardiogram revealed wide QRS tachycardia with a narrow beat within the tachycardia. Most commonly, a narrow complex beat during a wide complex tachycardia suggests a capture or fusion beat in the setting of ventricular tachycardia. However, there are situations where supraventricular tachycardia can also manifest this way. In our patient a pacemaker interrogation clarified the diagnosis.Entities:
