Taquicardia paroxística supraventrictular con disociación ventrículo auricular: a propósito de un caso / Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia with ventriculo-atrial dissociation: report of one case

ABSTRACT

Nodal reentrant supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia corresponds to a reentry circuit established between fibers with different conduction relocities and refractory periods in the atrioventricular mode. These are the slow and fast nodal pathways. That ventricular tissue does not form part of the circuit of this arrbythmia is accepted nowadays, and the involvement of atrial tissue is discussed. We report a 57 years old male with a nodal reentrant tachycardia. In the electrophystological study be presented an atrial and ventricular dissociation during the tachycardia. These findings allow a better undestanding of the electrophysiological substrae of this arrhytmia
