We report an unusual association of persistent atrial flutter and bundle branch re-entrant ventricular tachycardia in a young patient without structural heart disease. Atrial flutter masked the infra-Hisian conduction disease, was fundamentally dependent on a long PR interval, and could be a possible trigger of ventricular tachycardia.
