A strange case of wide QRS tachycardia during paclitaxel chemotherapy

We report the case of a 50-year-old female patient with breast cancer who, during preoperative workup, presented repeated wide QRS complex tachycardias, recorded by Holter ECG. She was immediately referred to a hub center for electrophysiological study where she was diagnosed with right ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia and underwent catheter ablation. The chemotherapy with paclitaxel that the patient was receiving combined with psychological stress may have triggered the arrhythmias.
