Abstract
- Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is the most common type of supraventricular tachycardia. The initiation and maintenance of tachycardia is caused by the characteristic anatomic and electrophysiologic properties of the atrioverntricular node. Acute management for the termination of tachycardia includes pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic management. There are several options for preventing recurrence of tachycardia, and radiofrequency ablation for modulation of tachycardia circuit can be considered as a primary strategy. A thorough understanding of the unique electrophysiologic features is very essential for optimal management and best possible outcome in cases of invasive management.
