  • Title: Pseudo-pacemaker syndrome following inadvertent fast pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
    Author: Kim YH, O'Nunain S, Trouton T, Sosa-Suarez G, Levine RA, Garan H, Ruskin JN.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol; 1993 Apr; 4(2):178-82. PubMed ID: 8269289.
    Abstract:
    Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia that is refractory to drug treatment has recently been treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. In this case report we describe a patient with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in whom radiofrequency ablation of slow pathway was attempted, with inadvertent damage to the fast pathway. The patient developed marked first-degree atrioventricular block associated with symptoms mimicking pacemaker syndrome.
