Why the study?
Does radiofrequency ablation of the posterior atrial input to the AV node alter fast pathway conduction properties in humans?
Does radiofrequency ablation of the posterior atrial input to the AV node alter fast pathway conduction properties in humans?
The study provides evidence for functionally distinct dual atrial inputs to the human AV node, demonstrating that ablation of the posterior input alters fast pathway conduction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports dual atrial inputs to the AV node; leaves open whether posterior ablation alters fast pathway conduction in practice.
Steín et al. (1994) studied this question.
