Do junctional rhythm characteristics and anatomic ablation site predict successful slow pathway radiofrequency ablation in patients with AVNRT?
Junctional rhythm characteristics, specifically early onset combined with a mid-septal ablation site, are highly predictive of successful slow pathway ablation in AVNRT.
Poret et al. (2000) studied this question.
