This is a case of a young male who developed fast atrial fibrillation after he consumed three cans of Energy drinks (EDs). Treatment required electrical cardioversion and surprisingly, when he reverted to sinus rhythm, the ECG showed a type A Wolff Parkinson White syndrome (WPW) (left-sided accessory pathway), with no previous history.
