title: Successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial muscle reentry tachycardia in a young adult.
abstract: Atrial muscle reentry as a mechanism of tachycardia has been well illustrated in isolated animal atrial muscle. It has infrequently been reported as an etiology of supraventricular tachycardia in young patients. A case of atrial muscle reentry tachycardia and its successful elimination using radiofrequency catheter ablation is reported.
