Abstract

Single case report of a middle-aged patient with Kartagener’s syndrome who experienced recurrent paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Despite optimized beta-blocker therapy, only cardioversion in emergency departments provided symptomatic relief. The unique electrocardiographic features of this condition and their significance in transaortic electrophysiological studies for diagnosis and treatment are highlighted.
