We are exposing a differential diagnostic problem in the case report of a young female with the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation who was referred to our Institute for pulmonary vein isolation. Based on the 12-lead ECG we found an unusal mechanism resulting in irregular, narrow QRS tachycardia, which was also confirmed by an electrophysiological study.
