Abstract

We describe a case wherein the presence of premature ventricular contractions was related to an increased heart rate that occurred due to supra-ventricular tachycardia: atrial tachycardia or atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia.

Keywords: atrial tachycardia; delayed after depolarization; premature ventricular contraction; supra-ventricular tachycardia; triggered activity.
