Project description:Cryoablation of slow pathway doesn't usually cause junctional beats. If this occurs, the nearness to AV compact node is supposed. 3d electroanatomical mapping during this unusual finding may help to clarify the relationship between junctional beats (JBs) during cryomapping/cryoablation and Koch's triangle.

Diagnosis and treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia: a case report illustrating clinical management and ablation strategy.

Project description:BackgroundAtrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular arrhythmia that is frequently encountered in an otherwise healthy patient population. Recent guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology underline the role of catheter ablation in the long-term management of these patients.Case summaryThis case describes the clinical presentation and treatment options in a patient with typical slow/fast AVNRT, the most common subform of AVNRT, where antegrade conduction occurs over the slow pathway and retrograde conduction over the fast pathway. The ablation strategy in these patients is illustrated based on intracardiac recordings in combination with per-procedural three-dimensional imaging.DiscussionAtrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is a common arrhythmia with good prognosis but significant impact on quality of life of affected patients. Catheter ablation should be considered early as it can be performed safely and with a very high success rate.

Frequent inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy was determined to be dual atrioventricular nodal non-reentrant tachycardia: A case report.

Project description:RationaleDual atrioventricular node non-reentrant tachycardia (DAVNNRT) is a rare arrhythmia. We present a case of inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy caused by DAVNNRT. DAVNNRT is easily misdiagnosed as atrial fibrillation and is often identified as ventricular tachycardia (VT) by the supraventricular tachycardia-ventricular tachycardia (SVT-VT) discriminator of the ICD.Patient concernsA 73-year-old man with ischemic heart disease (IHD) presented with palpitations accompanied by dyspnea and syncope. Frequent multifocal premature ventricular beats and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia were observed on ambulatory electrocardiography. The left ventricular ejection fraction decreased to 32%.DiagnosisHe was diagnosed with IHD, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), and VT.Interventions: Initially, the patient received a single-chamber ICD implantation for secondary prevention of sudden death. He then suffered from inappropriate anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP)/shock therapy many times after the procedure. DAVNNRT was confirmed in an electrophysiology study (EPS), and radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway successfully terminated this tachycardia.OutcomesNo episode of inappropriate ICD therapy or tachycardia occurred during the follow-up.LessonsIn conclusion, it is essential to have a full understanding of DAVNNRT and eliminate slow pathways for patients with DAVNNRT and be prepared to implant an ICD.

Frog sign and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia: A case report.

Project description:Supraventricular tachycardia is one the most frequent cardiac arrhythmias seen in patients, with AVNRT being the most common subtype. Two subgroups of AVNRT have been reported, that of typical and atypical. "Frog Sign," long considered a classic physical exam sign, albeit rare, is associated with typical AVNRT. We present a case of a patient who presented with frog sign and ultimately was determined to have AVNRT. Knowledge of "frog" sign aids clinical diagnosis and correct treatment.

Systematic observation-based diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with a bystander concealed nodoventricular pathway.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to establish a systematic method for diagnosing atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with a bystander concealed nodoventricular pathway (cNVP).MethodsWe analyzed 13 cases of AVNRT with a bystander cNVP, 11 connected to the slow pathway (cNVP-SP) and two to the fast pathway (cNVP-FP), along with two cases of cNVP-related orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (ORT).ResultsThe diagnostic process was summarized in three steps. Step 1 was identification of the presence of an accessory pathway by resetting the tachycardia with delay (n = 9) and termination without atrial capture (n = 4) immediately after delivery of a His-refractory premature ventricular contraction (PVC). Step 2 was exclusion of ORT by atrio-His block during the tachycardia (n = 4), disappearance of the reset phenomenon after the early PVC (n = 7), or dissociation of His from the tachycardia during ventricular overdrive pacing (n = 1). Moreover, tachycardia reset/termination without the atrial capture (n = 2/2) 1 cycle after the His-refractory PVC was specifically diagnostic. Exceptionally, the disappearance of the reset phenomenon was also observed in the two cNVP-ORTs. Step 3 was verification of the AVN as the cNVP insertion site, evidenced by an atrial reset/block preceding the His reset/block in fast-slow AVNRT with a cNVP-SP and slow-fast AVNRT with a cNVP-FP or His reset preceding the atrial reset in slow-fast AVNRT with a cNVP-SP.ConclusionAVNRT with a bystander cNVP can be diagnosed in the three steps with few exceptions. Notably, tachycardia reset/termination without atrial capture one cycle after delivery of a His-refractory PVC is specifically diagnostic.

Antegrade slow pathway mapping of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia based on direct slow pathway capture.

Project description:BackgroundRadiofrequency (RF) ablation of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (tAVNRT) is performed without revealing out the location of antegrade slow pathway (ASp). In this study, we studied a new electrophysiological method of identifying the site of ASp.MethodsThis study included 19 patients. Repeated series of very high-output single extrastimulations (VhoSESts) were delivered at the anatomical slow pathway region during tAVNRT. Tachycardia cycle length (TCL), coupling interval (CI), and return cycle (RC) were measured and the prematurity of VhoSESts [ΔPM (= TCL - CI)] and the prolongation of RCs [ΔPL (= RC - TCL)] were calculated. Pacing sites were classified into two categories: (i) ASp capture sites [DSPC(+) sites], where two different RCs were shown, and ASp non-capture sites [DSPC(-) sites], where only one RC was shown. RF ablation was performed at DSPC(+) sites and/or sites with catheter-induced mechanical trauma (CIMT) to ASp.ResultsDSPC(+) sites were shown in 13 patients (68%). RF ablation was successful in all patients without any degree of atrioventricular block nor recurrence. Total number of RF applications was 1.8 ± 1.1. Minimal distance between successful ablation sites and DSPC(+)/CIMT sites and His bundle (HB) electrogram recording sites was 1.9 ± 0.8 mm and 19.8 ± 6.1 mm, respectively. ΔPL of more than 92.5 ms, ΔPL/TCL of more than 0.286, and ΔPL/ΔPM of more than 1.565 could identify ASp with sensitivity of 100%, 91.1%, and 88.9% and specificity of 92.9%, 97.0%, and 97.6%, respectively.ConclusionsSites with ASp capture and CIMT were close to successful ablation sites and could be useful indicators of tAVNRT ablation.
