Termination of focal atrial tachycardia with adenosine is considered a defining feature for triggered activity. Recent evidence, however, suggests that the perinodal adenosine-sensitive AT has reentry as the mechanism of tachycardia. In this report, we were able to confirm the mechanism of AT as reentry by observing the response to programmed electrical stimulation and demonstrating the fallacy of traditional teaching that the adenosine responsiveness of AT is a criterion for labeling the mechanism as triggered activity.
腺苷终止局灶性房性心动过速被认为是触发活动的一个决定性特征。然而,最近的证据表明,结周腺苷敏感的房性心动过速的机制是折返。在本报告中,我们通过观察程序性电刺激的反应,并证明传统观点(即房性心动过速的腺苷反应性是将机制标记为触发活动的标准)的错误,能够确认房性心动过速的机制是折返。
