Slow pathway modification in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and a prolonged PR interval is highly effective. However, there is a significant risk of development of delayed atrioventricular block, particularly when the procedure results in total elimination of the slow pathway.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
