Comparison of Atrial‐His Intervals During Tachycardia and Atrial Pacing in Patients with Long RP Tachycardia

Long RP Tachycardia. Introduction: The purpose of this study is to describe a simple and reliable diagnostic maneuver that allows for the rapid differentiation of atypical AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) from other causes of long KP tachycardia. Long RP tachycardias may he caused by atypical AVNRT, orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (ORT) involving a slowly conducting retrograde accessory pathway, or atrial tachycardia. The differentiation of atypical AVNRT from ORT or atrial tachycardia may be difficult, especially when the differential diagnosis includes a posteroseptal accessory pathway or an atrial tachycardia arising in the posteroseptal right atrium.
