Key result
The presence of a conditioning blocked impulse significantly reduced the observation of AV nodal duality from 95% to 10% in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (P < 0.0001).
Why the study?
Does a conditioning blocked impulse affect AV nodal dual pathway physiology in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia?
Observational (n=34)
Does a conditioning blocked impulse affect AV nodal dual pathway physiology in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia?
Absolute Event Rate: 10% vs 95%
p-value: p=< 0.0001
A conditioning blocked impulse prevents slow pathway conduction of the AV node in patients with and without AV nodal reentry, demonstrating an interaction between concealed conduction and dual pathway physiology.

Blocked impulses suppress detectable AV nodal duality in AVNRT; extends concealed conduction evidence but leaves open diagnostic implications.
Liu et al. (2004) conducted an observational in AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (n=34). Conditioning blocked impulse (modulated conduction curve) vs. Absence of a conditioning blocked impulse (control conduction curve) was evaluated on AV nodal duality in the conduction curve (p=< 0.0001). The presence of a conditioning blocked impulse significantly reduced the observation of AV nodal duality from 95% to 10% in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (P < 0.0001).
