Implication
May support inferior AV nodal ablation for refractory 1:2 SVT; hypothesis-generating and leaves generalizability open pending controlled studies.
Structured PICO
P
Population
1 patient with incessant, exercise-limiting supraventricular tachycardia on the ventricular level and a constant 1:2 atrioventricular relation
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the inferior AV node
O
Outcome
Cure of tachycardia
Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the slow pathway region of the AV node successfully treated incessant SVT with a constant 1:2 AV ratio, suggesting permanent dual anterograde AV nodal conduction.
