Junctional tachycardia (JT) is rare cause of supraventricular tachycardia. The intracardiac activation sequence is similar to atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Premature atrial contractions inserted during tachycardia can help distinguish JT from AVNRT. As noted in this case, slow pathway ablation for JT may not always be effective for termination of JT. Activation mapping during JT identified a low-amplitude potential in the region of the coronary sinus ostium and the inferior margin of the triangle of Koch that marked the successful ablation site for JT.
交界性心动过速(JT)是室上性心动过速的罕见病因。心内激动顺序与房室结折返性心动过速(AVNRT)相似。心动过速期间插入的房性早搏有助于鉴别JT与AVNRT。如本病例所示,JT的慢径消融术不一定总能有效终止JT。JT期间的激动标测在冠状窦口区域和Koch三角下缘发现了一个低振幅电位,该电位标志着JT的成功消融部位。
