An otherwise healthy 24-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of drug refractory spells of palpitations accompanied by dizziness. These symptoms recurred several times a month and were terminated with intravenous adenosine. Figures 1 and 2 show the ECGs during palpitations and during normal conditions, respectively.
