One tachycardia with two entrainment responses: what is the mechanism?

The patient presented for electrophysiology study and ablation for a history of narrow complex tachycardia. Both typical and atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) were induced. For the atypical AVNRT, two different entrainment responses were recorded owing to different timing in delivering the ventricular pacing train.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors: clinical profile, pathogenesis, treatment strategies and prognosis.

Abstract Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), although the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, account for <1% of all GI malignancies. Up to 94% of these tumors express the CD117 antigen. Most patients present in the fifth to seventh decade, the commonest symptom being that of an abdominal mass.
