Abstract

Bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia (BBRVT) is characterized by a unique, fast (200-300 beats/min), monomorphic wide complex tachycardia (WCT) associated with syncope, hemodynamic compromise, and cardiac arrest. It is challenging to diagnose, requiring a His bundle recording and specific pacing maneuvers. The overall incidence has been reported to be up to 20% among patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) undergoing electrophysiologic studies. We report a case of BBRVT in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) presenting as a WCT with recurrent implantable-cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks. We describe all the characteristic features of BBRVT and discuss its differential. We also discuss the role of ablation for this condition.
