Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between early refractory premature ventricular complexes (ErPVCs) and the identification of an accessory pathway (AP) in patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), specifically during atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT).
- The researchers hypothesized that ErPVCs would consistently show a significant time difference in the advancement of subsequent atrial activation during AVNRT to suggest the presence of an AP.
- Results from 65 patients revealed that 14 AVRT cases displayed an AP response with 100% specificity for predicting the presence of an accessory pathway, while none showed this
We present a case of persistent dual AV node conduction during AV node reentry tachycardia as a new clinical manifestation of 2-for-1 AV node conduction. The interpretation of the complex physiology ponders the possibility of an accessory pathway mediated atrioventricular reentry existing with more ventricular than atrial events.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a major public health problem. Average medical costs for ARDS survivors on an annual basis are multiple times those dedicated to a healthy individual.
