Symptomatic Atrioventricular Dual Pathway Double Responses: A Role for Slow Pathway Ablation

Abstract: Two patients with symptomatic fast/slow pathway double responses were evaluated with electrophysiology studies. Chronic palpitations were resistant or worsened by medical therapy. No reentry tachycardias were induced. A nonreentrant paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was documented. Radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway was safely and successfully performed. Patients remain asymptomatic for 16-18 months. Ablation of the slow pathway for this substrate is a viable option.

“…Dual AV nodal pathways can be seen in up to 10% of patients undergoing electrophysiologic evaluation but only a fraction of them result in SVT or nonreentrant double AV nodal response 3–5,9–11 . There is one prior report in which the diagnosis of AF was incorrectly made in two patients with double AV nodal response 6 .…”

“…Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) on the other hand is easily differentiated from AF since it typically manifests a fast and regular rhythm with or without discernible retrogradely conducted P waves. However, impaired conduction from the AV node in the presence of dual AV nodal pathways manifesting either double response (during sinus rhythm) or AVNRT can result in variable R‐R intervals 3–6 . Generally, the variability in R‐R interval for both these scenarios follows a predictable and recurring pattern, which is different from the irregular R‐R intervals seen during AF 6 …”

“…Over the years, a few cases have been reported where simultaneous dual AV node conduction (SDNC) occurs at the induction of a typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), which has been amenable to a successful treatment by conventional slow pathway radiofrequency energy (RF) ablation 2–6 . Moreover, in some other rare cases, SDNC has been observed during normal sinus rhythm at a critical rate: if sustained, it causes a peculiar form of arrhythmia called non‐reentrant junctional tachycardia (NRJT) 7–19 …”

“…Für die Ausbildung dieser Tachykardie ist die Erregungsrücklei-tung im AV-Knoten eine notwendige Voraussetzung. Wegen der unterschiedlichen AV-Knoten-Leitungscharakteristiken bei Patienten mit typischen AV-Knoten-Reentrytachykardien und der hier beschriebenen doppelten Ventrikelerregung während Sinusrhythmus wurde ein gemeinsames Auftreten beider Arrhythmie-manifestationen in einem Patienten als sehr unwahrscheinlich klassifiziert (9). Wie vorbeschrieben können aber temporäre medikamentöse Veränderungen der AV-nodalen Leitungseigenschaften die Voraussetzung für das Auftreten beider oben angesprochenen Arrhythmieformen bei einem Patienten sein (2,7).…”

“…In Abbildung 2 ist eine Sequenz konsekutiver doppelter Ventrikelerregungen dargestellt mit dem Hinweis auf eine bisher nicht beschriebene elektrophysiologische Besonderheit doppelter Ventrikelerrung bei dualer AVKnoten-Leitungsphysiologie (2,4,9,11). Als eine mög-liche Erklärung für die zunehmenden AH-Leitungszeiten der schnellen Leitungsbahn nach jeweiliger dualer Ventrikelantwort könnte eine verborgene retrograde Erregungsleitung in dem schnellen Leitungsanteil des AVKnotens nach antegrader Erregungsleitung über die langsame Leitungsbahn in Frage kommen (weitere Erläuterungen in der Legende zu Abb.…”
