Supports anatomic slow pathway targeting in AVNRT ablation; leaves open prospective validation of alternative strategies.
This review emphasizes that AVNRT ablation should target the anatomic position of the slow pathway rather than earliest atrial activation sites or the fast pathway.
Katritsis et al. (2016) conducted a review in Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Ablation was evaluated. Ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia should target the anatomic position of the slow pathway, as targeting the fast pathway or earliest atrial activation sites is not justified.
