We have observed the simultaneous occurrence of postprandial hypoglycaemia and a rare cardiac arrhythmia: non-paroxysmal arteriovenous junctional tachycardia (NPJT) in a patient with suspected coronary heart disease (CHD) submitted to oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT). To our knowledge the association between hypoglycaemia and NPJT has not been previously described. The pathogenesis of NPJT might involve a myocellular Ca2+ overloading determined by a hypoglycaemia-induced catecholamine discharge in a transiently ischaemic myocardium.
