Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in Patients Referred for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Response to Ablation That Incorporates Slow-Pathway Modification
Open accessAbstract
Background— Although the most common sites of atrial ectopy that trigger atrial fibrillation (AF) are in or around the pulmonary veins (PVs), atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) can also cause or coexist with AF. We sought to characterize patients with AF and AVNRT and assess clinical outcomes after ablation. Methods and Results— To determine the prevalence of concomitant AVNRT and AF, 629 consecutive patients referred for catheter ablation between November 1998 and March 2005 were studied. Electrophysiological studies with programmed stimulation during isoproterenol infusion identified atrial ectopy that initiated AF and the presence of inducible AVNRT. AF ablation consisted of proximal isolation of PVs and elimination of any non-PV trigger of AF, including AVNRT. There were 27 patients (4.3%) who had inducible AVNRT at the time of AF ablation. Of these, 13 underwent AVNRT ablation without PV isolation. Compared with the rest of the cohort, patients with AVNRT and AF were younger at the time of symptom onset (age 36.8±13.8 versus 48.2±11.7 years; P <0.01). Freedom from AF with or without previously ineffective antiarrhythmic medication was similar in both groups (96.3% versus 90.7%; mean follow-up 21.4±9.4 months); however, patients with AVNRT targeted for ablation were more likely to be AF free while not taking any antiarrhythmic medication after a single procedure during the follow-up period (87.5% versus 54.7%; P <0.01) and had fewer complications (0% versus 2.5%; P =0.30). Twelve of the 13 patients who underwent slow-pathway ablation without left atrial ablation remained AF free without the need for antiarrhythmic medication after a single procedure. Conclusions— AVNRT is an uncommon AF trigger seen more frequently in younger patients. Ablation of AVNRT in patients with AF was associated with improved outcomes compared with those with other triggers of AF.

In the citing paper
“Notably, AF may be triggered by other arrhythmias, for example, AVRT or AVNRT, especially in younger patients, and it is important to document this before selecting appropriate treatment (Calkins et al., 2012;Sauer et al., 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
