Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common type of reentrant paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia that occurs in the presence of dual AV nodal physiology. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is another type of supraventricular tachycardia characterized by short PR intervals, delta waves and wide QRS complexes on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG), reflecting atrioventricular pre-excitation. Uncommonly, AV nodal reentry and accessory pathways can coexist. In this case report, we present a patient who had frequent episodes of palpitation and syncope and recently presented to the emergency department (ED) with the complaint of dizziness. We performed successful radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of mitral annulus posterolateral accessory pathway and AVNRT which was the cause of the second tachycardia induced during the same session.
房室结折返性心动过速(AVNRT)是最常见的折返性阵发性室上性心动过速类型,发生于存在双房室结生理状态时。预激综合征(WPW)是另一种室上性心动过速类型,其特征为体表心电图(ECG)上PR间期缩短、δ波和QRS波群增宽,反映房室预激。罕见的是,房室结折返和旁路可同时存在。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名频繁发作心悸和晕厥的患者,该患者最近因头晕主诉就诊于急诊科(ED)。我们成功地对二尖瓣环后外侧旁路和AVNRT进行了射频(RF)导管消融,AVNRT是同一次手术中诱发的第二种心动过速的病因。
