Interesting presentation of a broad complex tachycardia during the head up tilt table test

Abstract

Broad complex tachycardia (BCT) during head up tilt test (HUTT) is infrequent. Electrophysiology Study (EPS) plays an important part in further differentiation of BCT. We present a case of BCT during HUTT in a patient presenting with presyncope which later on EPS with 3D mapping was diagnosed as ventricular tachycardia. This case highlights the unusual occurrence of BCT during HUTT, the differential diagnosis of BCT and the utility of EPS to reliably identify the type and origin of BCT.
