A 60-year-old woman presented with recurrent episodes of palpitations, documented short RP, narrow QRS tachycardia and absence of preexcitation in the electrocardiogram during sinus rhythm. During an electrophysiology study, programmed stimulation induced a narrow QRS tachycardia with cycle length of 380 ms, VA interval of 164 ms and earliest atrial activation in the His region. Ventricular overdrive pacing failed to entrain the atrium even with isoprenaline infusion and atrial burst pacing repeatedly terminated the tachycardia. Difference in AH interval with pacing and SVT was 27 msec. Simultaneous atrial and ventricular pacing was done with atrial pacing from the high right atrium and showed a His signal as the first return electrogram suggestive of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). The manoeuvre was repeated with atrial pacing from the proximal coronary sinus and showed an atrial signal as the first return electrogram suggestive of atrial tachycardia (AT). What is the explanation for the conflicting results of the two pacing maneuvers?
