  • Title: Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with advanced infra-hisian atrioventricular block.
    Author: Wase A, Shah S, Siraj Y, Nazir R.
    Journal: J Interv Card Electrophysiol; 2005 Apr; 12(3):227-30. PubMed ID: 15875115.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of 78-year-old man admitted to the hospital due to palpitations and lightheadedness. On EKG advanced atrioventricular block with ventricular rate of 37 beats per minute was noted. On electrophysiology study a common type of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia was inducible with maintenance of advanced AV block. Radiofrequency ablation of slow pathway followed by placement of a permanent pacemaker resulted in elimination of tachycardia and resolution of symptoms.
