چکیده

Atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia is a common supraventricular arrhythmia. The rate of recurrence is relatively high, and accordingly ablative therapy became the first-line suggested therapy. In this review, we highlight the electrocardiographic clues to the diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia, also we present the electrophysiological data and maneuvers that enable the ruling out of other supraventricular tachycardias and ensure an accurate and specific diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.

Electrocardiographic diagnosis of dual AV nodal pathways complicating the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

he diagnosis of dual AV nodal pathways compliTcating concealed or manifest preexcitation, is usually made at the time of electrophysiologic study in pa tien ts with recurrent paroxysmal supraventriculax tachycardia. In these patients, electrophysiologic studies demonstrate discontinuous antegrade AV nodal conduction curves (dual AV nodal pathways, fast and slow), as well as a unior bidirectiona...

Dual Atrioventricular Nodal Pathways Physiology: A Review of Relevant Anatomy, Electrophysiology, and Electrocardiographic Manifestations

More than half a century has passed since the concept of dual atrioventricular (AV) nodal pathways physiology was conceived. Dual AV nodal pathways have been shown to be responsible for many clinical arrhythmia syndromes, most notably AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Although there has been a considerable amount of research on this topic, the subject of dual AV nodal pathways physiology remains ...

Pharmacological observations in patients with nodoventricular pathways.

Three patients with accessory nodoventricular pathways and re-entry tachycardia are reported. In all three patients the accessory nodoventricular pathway formed the anterograde limb of the re-entry circuit while the His-Purkinje-atrioventricular node axis formed the retrograde limb of the tachycardia in two of the patients and a concealed accessory pathway formed the retrograde limb in the rema...

An electrophysiologic study of swallowing-induced tachycardia.

Electrophysiologic studies were performed on a 73-year-old man with swallowing-induced supraventricular tachycardia, in order to define the characteristics of this unique dysrhythmia in this patient. Swallowing reliably provoked an automatic atrial focus type of atrial tachycardia, which usually changed into an atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia when a critical delay in atrioventricul...

Typical Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant and Orthodromic Atrioventricular Tachycardias: Electrocardiographic, Electrophysiological Diagnosis and Treatment

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias with narrow QRS are defined as rhythms originating from above the His bundle, heart rate higher 100 bpm and QRS complex of less than 120 ms in adults or less than 90 ms in children. They present a prevalence of up to 8/1000 individuals. The main presentations of these regular tachycardias are atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia and orthodromic ...
