Discrimination of atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia from atrial tachycardia by the V‐A‐A‐V response

The electrophysiological discrimination between fast‐slow (F/S‐) atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia (NRT) and atrial tachycardia (AT) originating from the interatrial septum remains challenging. While a V‐A‐A‐V response may occur immediately after ventricular induction or entrainment of either tachycardia, the electrophysiological dissimilarities in that response between the two tachycardias remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify a diagnostic indicator discriminating F/S‐AVNRT from AT by examining the difference in the V‐A‐A‐V response between the two tachycardias.
