A Tale of 2 Arrhythmias: The Early History of the Arrhythmias Involving the AV Node
2023, JACC: Clinical ElectrophysiologyAn unusual mechanism of accelerated rhythms in inferior stemi
2020, Journal of ElectrocardiologyCitation Excerpt :Another mechanism such as an atrial ectopic focus, resulting in the arrhythmias at hand, is unlikely because of the termination with a P wave: simultaneous termination within the atrial focus and block in the AV node would be a very unlikely coincidence. Dual AV nodal pathway physiology has since long been recognized, both experimentally [5] and clinically [6] as a mechanism of AV nodal reentry tachycardias; the reentry mechanism requires two discrete anatomical or physiological pathways; one pathway has fast conduction and dominates conduction during sinus rhythm. The second one has slow conduction, and can become apparent for instance when an atrial premature causes unidirectional block in the fast pathway; this results in conduction to the ventricles with a long PR interval.
Retrograde fast pathway ablation with the EnSite NavX mapping system for slow-fast atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia and a prolonged PR interval during sinus rhythm
2011, Journal of Cardiology CasesCitation Excerpt :There are two circuits, called the slow pathway (SP) and the fast pathway (FP), in the electric conducting pathway to the compact atrioventricular node [1,2].
Supraventricular Tachycardia-Part I
2008, Current Problems in CardiologyCitation Excerpt :To date, no predictors of the presence of transposition of AV nodal pathways have been reported. Data from human and animal studies have suggested the presence of AV nodal tissue extrinsic to the tachycardia circuit itself.78,81,119,120 In particular, studies have suggested that, in some patients, the circuit is bounded by an upper common pathway (between the circuit and the atrium) and a lower common pathway (between the circuit and the His bundle), both of which have AV nodal properties.109,120,121
