Summary:Immediate diagnosis and prompt treatment of wide QRS-complex tachycardia is vital. Differential diagnosis of wide QRS tachycardia is also challenging. The most common cause of wide QRS-complex tachycardia is ventricular tachycardia (VT). Idiopathic fascicular left ventricular tachycardia is a rare form of VT, and observed often in young and individuals without underlying heart disease. Clinical presentations are recurrent episodes of palpitations and dizziness without a trigger factor. The paper introduces a case of sustained posterior fascicular left ventricular tachycardia triggered by pseudoephedrine.
