Role of SA–VA interval after resetting of the tachycardia by ventricular extra stimulus in differentiating AVNRT and OAVRT regarding sensitivity and specificity, single center study

Introduction: Right ventricular entrainment represents a useful tool for differentiating atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) from orthodromic re-entrant tachycardia (ORT) using an accessory pathway. However, inability to entrain PSVT by pacing can be observed in some patients. Aim...
