- Abstract
Acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF) remains a serious public health problem and is common in the developing countries. Arrhythmias such as atrioventricular nodal blocks, premature beats, accelerated nodal rhythm, ventricular tachycardia and Torsades de pointes can be seen in the early stages of the disease. We present a case of narrow QRS tachycardia in which palpitation was the only symptom of rheumatic carditis. After the disease became inactive with acetylsalicylic acid treatment, the tachycardia returned to normal sinus rhythm.
