AV reciprocating tachycardia: Difference between revisions

Created page with "'''AV reciprocating tachycardia''' (AVRT) occurs in patients with an accessory pathway which circumvents the AV node, which causes pre-excitation of the ventricles. This occurs most commonly in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. It is triggered by a premature atrial or ventricular beat. Treatment involves ablation of the accessory pathway. In patients with WPW (but not currently in AVRT), pre-..."
