Introduction: Although uncommonly encountered, dual atrioventricular nodal non-reentrant tachycardia (DAVNNRT) is a well-described arrhythmia that can manifest in patients with dual atrioventricular nodal pathways physiology. This arrhythmia is characterized on electrocardiogram (ECG) by a single P wave followed by two conducted QRS complexes (so-called "double fire"), and on intracardiac electrograms by a single atrial electrogram followed by two separate His deflections and ventricular electrograms.
Methods/results: We report a rare case of "triple-fire" atrioventricular non-reentrant tachycardia in which a patient was found to have three distinct atrioventricular nodal pathways and multiple triple fire responses, both on surface ECG and intracardiac electrograms.
Conclusion: Multiple pathways physiology and it's clinical ramifications are discussed.

We report a case of long RP' tachycardia diagnosed as fast-slow atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with a bystander nodoventricular pathway (NVP). Differential responses to right ventricular extrastimuli from the base and apex highlighted the anatomical proximity of the NVP attachment, contributing to the diagnosis.

Objectives: We present a case series of patients with granulomatous myocarditis presenting as atrial arrhythmias accompanied by lymphadenopathy.
Background: Atrial myocarditis (AM) may be the cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients without risk factors.
Methods: Patients with atrial fibrillation without risk factors underwent 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET).

Background: Junctional rhythm (JR) frequently occurs during radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures targeting the slow pathway (SP) for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), signaling successful ablation. Two types of JR have been noticed: typical JR as His activation preceding atrial activation, and atypical JR as atrial activation preceding the His activation. Nevertheless, the origin and characteristics of JR remain incompletely defined.
