A case of 'tachy-brady syndrome': What is the mechanism?

Indian Pacing Electrophysiol J. 2016 Mar 10;15(5):261-4. doi: 10.1016/j.ipej.2016.03.001. eCollection 2015 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A young male presented with incessant narrow QRS tachycardia and left ventricular dysfunction. 24-Holter monitoring revealed multiple episodes of sustained and nonsustained episodes of tachycardia with prolonged sinus pauses at termination. The analysis of the electrocardiogram, followed by an invasive electrophysiological study, suggested an unusual mechanism for this tachy-brady syndrome.
