In the case of adenosine-sensitive atrial tachycardia originating near the atrioventricular (AV) node, overdrive pacing from the anterior right atrium showed constant and progressive fusion, indicating that the pacing site is proximal to slow conduction. Shortening the pacing cycle length prolonged conduction times to the orthodromic capture sites; they remained unchanged at the antidromic capture sites. Limited decremental conduction property in the slow conduction zone supports the hypothesis that AV node-like tissue remnants along the AV annulus are involved.

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.

Our understanding of the variants of slow pathway (SP) and associated atypical atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia (NRT) is still growing. We have identified variants extending outside Koch's triangle along the tricuspid annulus, including superior, superoanterior and inferolateral right atrial SP and associated atypical, fast-slow AVNRT. We review the history of each variant, their electrophysiological characteristics and related atypical AVNRT, and their treatment by catheter ablation.
