Abstract

Digoxin is rarely used in modern cardiovascular disease management. Therefore, digoxin toxicity has been infrequently encountered and it is paramount to diagnose in a timely fashion. Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is an unusual arrhythmia wherein every other beat has a different QRS axis as it travels alternately down different conduction pathways. The arrhythmia can be a manifestation of myocarditis, myocardial infarct, Andersen-Tawil syndrome, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, herbal aconite poisoning, and digoxin toxicity. This case illustrates the importance of clinician awareness of rare electrocardiogram (EKG) patterns of digoxin toxicity and visual resolution of fatal arrhythmia with timely treatment.
