A re-entry tachycardia triggered by the spontaneous interruption of an atrial tachycardia.

چکیده
The common atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia is the most common form of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. It starts frequently with a supraventricular ectopic beat that, on finding the fast pathway in refractory period, travels in the slow pathway as to appear as a prolongation of the PR interval on the ECG. In this study, we show a singular case of a common atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia triggered by the spontaneous interruption of an atrial tachycardia.

Supraventricular tachycardia in infants: epidemiology and clinical management.
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) are observed in 0,1-0,4% of the paediatric population and represent an important clinical problem with related significant health and social issues. Most tachycardias are paroxysmal, being associated with sudden onset and termination, and only a relatively small number of them is permanent, namely chronic. Paroxysmal tachycardias, in addition, can be either ...
متن کاملRight Atrial Stimulation
Pervenous electrical stimulation of the right atrium was successful in converting 15 episodes of supraventricular tachyarrhythmia in 9 of 15 patients. This included 13 conversions of atrial flutter, one each of atrial tachycardia and junctional tachycardia. The procedure was performed at the bedside, without complication', using intracardiac electrography to direct catheter position. Indirect e...
متن کاملElectrophysiological disturbances in heart failure.
Cardiac arrhythmias are a frequent and important complication of cardiac failure regardless of aetiology. It might be expected that those afflicted would be aware of their occurrence, but surprisingly, even salvoes of ventricular tachycardia often are not perceived by patients. It has required 24 hour ambulatory electrocardiographic recordings to disclose the true prevalence of arrhythmias. The...
متن کاملObservations contributing to certain aspects of the mechanism of spontaneous reciprocating tachycardia.
In 7 patients, none of whom had the WPW syndrome, analysis of recurrent paroxysms of supraventricular tachycardia strongly favoured the existence of re-entry in the AV junction as the underlying mechanisms. Paroxysms were abortive in 4 patients and sustained in the remaining 3. The initiating factors were partial AV block and/or premature beats or premature depolarization from re-entrant impuls...

SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of repetitive ventricular responses caused by non-bundle-branch re-entry and bundle-branch re-entry in 47 patients with and in 50 patients without ventricular tachycardia. We also compared the prevalence of repetitive ventricular responses using two types of electrophysiological stimulation: single premature ventri-cular stimulat...
