ABSTRACT

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia represents a significant part of tachy-arrhythmias seen by attending physicians in emergency departments. It is the most common paroxysmal tachycardia, and it occurs primarily in women between their fourth and fifth decades of life. Diagnosis can be made with high reliability by surface electrocardiogram and complex or borderline cases by electrophysiological studies. Its treatment should be aimed towards definitive healing by endocardial ablation technique, but depending on availability or patient preferences drug treatment may be indicated. This article summarizes the diagnostic techniques, types of atrioventri-cular nodal reentrant tachycardia and major aspects of treatment.
