A Case of Wide Complex Tachycardia in a Patient with a Biventricular Assist Device

Abstract

This case report highlights the difficulty that arises when differentiating wide complex supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias in the growing population of patients with circulatory support devices. We present a case that demonstrates how a wide complex supraventricular tachycardia in a patient with a biventricular assist device can mimic ventricular tachycardia.
