Atrioventricular nodal block with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia ablation.

Prediction of clinical recurrence of atrioventricular-nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) after successful slow pathway ablation.

BACKGROUND Even after successful slow pathway (SP) ablation for atrioventricular-nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), there may be clinical recurrence in certain patients and it is clinically important to be able to predict that. METHODS AND RESULTS In 97 patients with common type AVNRT, the effective refractory period (ERP) of the fast pathway (FP), SP-ERP, and prolongation of the atrio-His ...

Zero fluoroscopy radiofrequency ablation for Typical Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia (AVNRT)

A twenty nine year old primigravida at two months of gestation, working as a medical professional, presented with recurrent hour long episodes of symptomatic palpitations, associated with extreme fatigue. Within a month, she had four admissions to the emergency department for the same. On examination during tachycardia, she was diaphoretic, with a regular heart rate of 220 beats per minute (bpm...

Familial Occurrence of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia.

BACKGROUND Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is considered a sporadic disease occurring in ≈22.5 cases per 10 000 in the general population. We define the prevalence and characteristics of familial AVNRT among patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS Ablation reports of all patients with familial AVNRT (at least 2 first-degree family members) who ...
