Atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia with a 2:1 atrioventricular block in a young man: What is the mechanism?

Authors: Javier Pinos, Diego Serrano Piedra

Published in: International Journal of Arrhythmia | Issue 1/2024

Abstract

A 16-year-old man presented with short VA supraventricular tachycardia and 2:1 atrioventricular ratio. The correct maneuvers allowed us to guide not only the mechanism but also the probable location of the atrioventricular block.
