Anatomy of atrioventricular nodal reentry investigated by intracardiac echocardiography

Intracardiac echocardiography was used to evaluate posteroseptal space anatomy in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia compared with patients with other mechanisms of tachycardia. The posteroseptal space was found to be significantly wider in patients with atrioventricular noda...

Description
Summary:Intracardiac echocardiography was used to evaluate posteroseptal space anatomy in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia compared with patients with other mechanisms of tachycardia. The posteroseptal space was found to be significantly wider in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentry, suggesting an anatomic basis for dual atrioventricular nodal physiology.
