Excerpt

The differential diagnosis of a regular, narrow QRS, long-RP tachycardia includes atypical atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT), atrial tachycardia and atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT) via a slowly conducting accessory pathway usually presenting decremental conduction properties. …
