Abstract
We report an unusual case of a relatively regular wide QRS complex tac hycardia alternating with periods of an irregular narrow QRS complex t achycardia during atrial fibrillation in a patient with Wolff-Parkinso n-White syndrome. Both tachycardias resulted from atrial fibrillation, the wide QRS complex tachycardia being due to 2:1 AV conduction of a type I atrial fibrillation across a posteroseptal accessory AV connect ion.
