Fascicular tachycardia in young patients without overt heart disease constitutes a rare but electrophysiologically distinct arrhythmia entity. Microreentry within the left posterior fascicle has been proposed as its mechanism, but evidence for this is inconclusive. This report details a patient with incessant fascicular tachycardia. The electrophysiological features, in particular the pattern of resetting response, provided strong evidence for reentry as the tachycardia mechanism. Satisfactory long-term arrhythmia control was achieved with flecainide.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
