  Introduction : The aim of this study is to obtain new insight into possible relation between functional properties of slow concealed pathway and rate-dependent properties of AV-node.   Methods : Rate-dependent nodal properties of recovery, facilitation, and fatigue were characterized by stimulation protocols in one groups of (N=7) isolated superfused AV-Nodal rabbits. Small miniature lesions ...

Objectives: Dual pathways have a determinant role in the occurrence of atrio nodal tachyarrhythmia (AVNRT). The aim of present study is to determine the role of slow pathway (SP) in the concealment zone and protective role of AV node during atrial fibrillation (AF). Material &Methods: In 7 isolated nodal rabbit preparation zone of concealment and concealed conduction is quantified by Specif...

background: complete atrioventricular block (av block) is a serious complication of slow pathway ablation therapy in the treatment of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (avnrt).   the present study was aimed at determining whether the electroanatomical pace mapping of koch’s triangle could significantly improve the safety, efficiency, and efficacy of selective slow pathway ablation i...

anotomical boundary of atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (avnrt) is composed of fast and slow pathways right atrium in upper turnaround and common distal pathway in lower turnaround. we performed electophsiologic study (eps) in 152 patients and could show the existence of distal common pathway with decremental conduction properties in approximately 40 patients.

introduction: the ablation technique is one of the important therapeutic interventions for treatment of av nodal tachyarrhythmia. different animal models have been developed to study the effects of ablation on the functional interanodal structure. the aim of the present study was to develop a new model of computer analysis to produce lesions by using direct voltage in isolated perfused rabbit a...
