An otherwise healthy 57-year-old lady presented with palpitations without dizziness. The symptoms had been present for a couple of years but the number of episodes had increased recently. Onset and termination were always sudden without specific triggers. Physical examination on admission revealed no specific abnormalities except for a rapid pulse (150 beats/min). Blood pressure was normal. The ECG is shown in figure 1 and a few minutes later figure 2 was recorded without any specific intervention.
