Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
Although the exact circuit of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) still eludes us, AVNRT is the most common regular arrhythmia in humans, and therefore the most commonly encountered during ablation attempts for regular tachycardias.1–4 Catheter ablation for AVNRT is the current treatment of choice in symptomatic patients. It reduces arrhythmia-related hospitalisations and costs,… View more

Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia
Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis , Mark E Josephson Added: 3 years ago
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) denotes re-entry in the area of the AV node, and represents the most common regular arrhythmia in the human.1 Although several models have been proposed to explain the mechanism of the arrhythmia in the context of the complex anatomy and the anisotropic properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node and its atrial extensions (see Figure 1),2 the… View more

Author(s): Demosthenes G Katritsis Added: 3 years ago
Cardiac pathologists and electrophysiologists have studied the atrioventricular (AV) node for more than 100 years, since 1906, when Tawara first described the inferior extensions of the AV node in the human heart.1 Still, this important cardiac structure remains “a riddle wrapped up in a mystery, inside an enigma”, to recall the famous Churchill quotation. Perhaps the same can be said about… View more

The Electrocardiogram In the entire realm of his work, Dr Josephson’s greatest love was the simple electrocardiogram (ECG). His discernment, based on the ECG, into the patient’s history and disease processes was legendary. Among the more important and insightful contributions he made to our understanding of heart disease and arrhythmias from the ECG are: observations of alternating preexcitation… View more

At the Atrioventricular Crossroads: Dual Pathway Electrophysiology
Author(s): Sharon A George , N Rokhaya Faye , Alejandro Murillo-Berlioz , et al Added: 3 years ago
More than 100years have passed since the atrioventricular node (AVN) was first discovered by Sunao Tawara1 and described as a “Knoten” of tissue located at the proximal end of the Bundle of His (BoH).2 Despite the numerous advances in knowledge regarding the structure and function of the AVN, there are still several controversies that need to be addressed in both clinical and scientific settings… View more

Catheter ablation has moved from ablation of ‘simple’ substrates like accessory pathways,1 atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardias (AVNRTs)2 and re-entrant or focal tachycardia (of either ventricular or atrial origin)3–5 in recent years to more complex arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation.6–8 Even patients with complex congenital heart disease that may… View more

Ablation of Arrhythmias in Patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Around 0.8% of live births are affected by some type of congenital heart disease; 30–50% of whom will need one or more surgical interventions, generally during early childhood, involving in some cases complex corrections with patches, baffles or extracardiac circuits.1,2 As a result of advances in surgical interventions, the life expectancy of patients with congenital heart disease has… View more
