Fast-slow AVNRT was able to be categorized into posterior, middle and anterior types according to the site of the retrograde SP. The anterior type AVNRT, where an anteriorly located SP is used in the retrograde direction and a posteriorly located FP in the anterograde direction, appears to represent an anatomical reversal of the posterior type which uses a posterior SP for retrograde and an anterior FP for anterograde conduction. Anterior type AVNRT should be considered in the differential diagnosis of long RP (RP > PR intervals) tachycardias with shallow negative P waves in the inferior leads.
