In patients with AVNRT, successful slow pathway RF ablation is characterized by slow junctional beats with cycle length >550 ms and atrial electrogram duration >40 ms.
Nigro et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) (n=50). Slow pathway radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation was evaluated on Electrophysiological properties of successful slow pathway RF ablation (p=0.001). Successful slow pathway RF ablation in AVNRT patients was significantly associated with slow junctional beats with cycle length >550 ms (p=0.001) and atrial electrogram duration >40 ms (p=0.05).
