A 5‐year‐old boy was studied because of incessant supra ventricular tachycardia. He was shown to have two forms of supravenlricular tachycardia each of which could be incessant. The interplay between the two tachycardias caused interesting periodic sequences in the surface electrocardiogram. Ourstudy illustrates the value of careful analysis of the surface P wave morphology and the usefulness of programmed electrical stimulation of the heart in determining the mechanism of tachycardia.
