A 75‐year‐old woman was admitted to the hospital because of a supraventricular tachycardia, long sinus pauses and ventricular tachycardia of the torsades de pointe type. Temporary ventricular pacing suppressed ventricular arrhythmias but supraventricular tachy‐cardia persisted. An electrophysiologic study revealed the coexistence of sick sinus syndrome and cir‐cus movement tachycardia due to a concealed left‐sided accessory atrioventricular pathway. This case represents a previously undescribed form of the bradycardia‐tachycardia syndrome. (PACE, Vol. 5, July‐August, 1982)
