ABSTRACT

Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is the most frequent regular supraventricular tachycardia. It is generally a benign arrhythmia and usually it is no associated with heart disease. It is more often seen in middle-aged women but it is no infrequent in younger and older patients. The development of radiofrequency with catheter ablation has provided the possibility to definitely cure the arrhythmia and moreover permit a better comprehension of the underlying electrophysiologic and anatomic substrate.
