Abstract

Abstract: Electrocardiographic findings including irregularity of the rhythm, a very rapid ventricular response, and the presence of a delta wave should raise the suspicion of pre‐excited atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response. Urgent cardioversion is needed due to the risk of sudden cardiac death.
