We present a 21-year-old woman status post orthotopic heart transplantation initially presenting with a regular narrow complex tachycardia at 159beats/min. With intravenous diltiazem the rhythm transitioned to a regular tachycardia at 106beats/min, 2/3rd of the initial heart rate. We demonstrate this to be a novel description of 3:2second-degree Mobitz type I atrioventricular block (Wenckebach) with the absence of the hallmark regularly irregular (grouped beating) pattern.

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
