A woman in her 60s with a broad complex tachycardia. There are two ECG features that suggest an accessory pathway, can you spot them?

A single agent overdose causing AV blockade, QRS widening, and QT prolongation.... but reports of death only if QRS > 200ms. Which medication is this?

A 40 yo man is admitted with lobar pneumonia. He develops new atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response; becomes hypotensive and increasingly dyspnoeic.
