May guide pathway-specific AF rate prediction; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does electrophysiological testing correlate with ventricular response during atrial fibrillation and flutter across different atrioventricular pathways?

Population

56 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (n=45) or atrial flutter (n=11) with various atrioventricular conduction pathways (AV node, accessory pathway, atriofascicular bypass tract, or rapidly conducting AV node).

Intervention

Electrophysiological testing, specifically incremental atrial pacing.

Outcome

Correlation between ventricular response (shortest and mean RR intervals) during atrial fibrillation or flutter and electrophysiological properties of the corresponding atrioventricular pathways.surrogate

Electrophysiological testing, particularly incremental atrial pacing, provides indices that correlate with ventricular response in specific subgroups of patients with atrial fibrillation, which may guide management.
