Prevalence and characteristics of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with a bystander concealed nodoventricular/nodofascicular pathway

Heart RhythmPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

A bystander NV/NF pathway was not rare in patients with AVNRT. The VES and VOP for the AVNRTs with the bystander NV/NF pathways were characterized by the 2-phase resetting phenomenon: initial transient resetting with delay through the NV/NF pathway, and late resetting with advance through the RBB-His conduction.
