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

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrioventricular 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 summary

This 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.
