Becker muscular dystrophy with bundle branch reentry ventricular tachycardia

S M Negri et al. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol. 1998 Jun.

Abstract

This report describes a case of Becker muscular dystrophy presenting with recurrent symptomatic wide complex tachycardia. Electrophysiologic testing demonstrated the mechanism to be bundle branch reentry ventricular tachycardia. It is important to consider this potential mechanism in patients with ventricular arrhythmias who have this particular clinical entity, since radiofrequency catheter ablation can represent a curative treatment.
