Cardiac arrhythmias are common in hospitalized patients, with their incidence increasing in older patients and those with comorbidities. Cardiac arrhythmias represent a trigger for approximately 10% of rapid response team (RRT) activations. Of those, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly observed. Other common cardiac arrhythmias in the in-hospital setting include supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, and bradycardias. Members of the RRT should be skilled in the diagnosis and management of these common arrhythmias. This chapter presents an overview of cardiac arrhythmias that RRT members are likely to encounter, discussing their incidence and significance, as well as their immediate management.

Syncope is a common manifestation of both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. The most common arrhythmia in HCM is ventricular tachycardia (VT) and atrial fibrillation (AF). While preexcitation provides the substrate for reentry and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), AF is more common in patients with preexcitation than the general population. Concurrence of HCM and WPW has been reported in many cases, but whether the prognosis or severity of arrhythmia is different compared to the individual disorders remains unsettled. We report a case of HCM and Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome in a 28-year-old male Nigerian soldier presenting with recurrent syncope and lichen planus.
