Abstract
Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a rare arrhythmia characterized by alternating QRS morphologies and axis changes. Atrial flutter (AFL) can coexist with ventricular arrhythmias, complicating diagnosis. We present a case of a 56-year-old man with a history of ischemic heart disease and severe mitral regurgitation admitted with palpitations who was diagnosed with dual tachycardia (bidirectional VT and AFL).
