Description
Summary:We describe a patient with an implanted pacemaker for impaired AV conduction who presented with an incessant tachycardia. EP study showed that the tachycardia was atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with repeated spontaneous initiation because of poor or absent antegrade fast pathway conduction. Slow pathway ablation was successful in terminating the tachycardia and making it non-inducible.
