Why the study?
Does right ventricular entrainment accurately distinguish atypical AV node reentrant tachycardia from AV reentrant tachycardia in patients with long-RP tachycardia?

RV entrainment criteria may misclassify slow-AP tachycardias as AVNRT; leaves open need for additional discriminators in long-RP tachycardia.
Does right ventricular entrainment accurately distinguish atypical AV node reentrant tachycardia from AV reentrant tachycardia in patients with long-RP tachycardia?
Slowly conducting accessory pathways frequently yield RV entrainment criteria traditionally attributable to AV node reentry, indicating that other criteria are required to distinguish AV node reentry from AV reentry in patients with long-RP tachycardia.
Bennett et al. (2011) studied this question.
