Key result
ECG analysis reveals peri-scar macroreentrant atrial tachycardia with Wenckebach block after mitral valve surgery.
Why the study?
Systematic analysis and differential diagnosis of rapid supraventricular tachycardias, especially with variable AV conduction, require detailed ECG interpretation to guide management.
Case Report (n=1)
Systematic analysis of ECG perturbations in regular SVTs can reveal underlying mechanisms such as atrial tachycardia with Wenckebach block, especially in patients with prior cardiac surgery.
The ECG shows a rapid supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) that is regular except for near the end.

Andrzej M. Okreglicki (2017) conducted a case report in Supraventricular tachycardia (Atrial tachycardia) (n=1). Systematic analysis of the ECG revealed a peri-scar macro re-entry atrial tachycardia with Wenckebach block related to previous mitral valve surgery.
