摘要
Discrimination between atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) and orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (ORT) during an electrophysiological study is sometimes challenging. This study aimed to investigate if the difference in the local VA (ventricle-atrium) interval during ventricular entrainment pacing and during tachycardia (DVA, defined as the shortest local VA interval of coronary sinus [CS] during entrainment minus the shortest local VA interval of CS during tachycardia) was different in patients with AVNRT and patients with ORT. Diagnoses of AVNRT or ORT through a concealed accessory pathway (AP) were made according to conventional electrophysiological criteria and ablation results. Entrainment by right ventricular (RV) pacing was performed in each patient before ablation and patients with successful entrainment were included in the study. The DVA was compared between patients with AVNRT and patients with ORT. The DVA in patients with AVNRT was significantly longer than that in patients with ORT (120 +/- 20 versus 5.7 +/- 9; P < 0.001). In each patient with AVNRT of slow-fast type, fast-slow type, and slow-slow type, the DVA was more than 48 ms. In each patient with ORT using a left free wall accessory pathway (AP), right free wall AP, and septal AP, the DVA was less than 20 ms. DVA was found to be a rapid, useful test in distinguishing patients with AVNRT from those with ORT.
