Results of radiofrequency ablation in patients with clinically documented, but noninducible, atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia and orthodromic atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia.
Among 1,281 patients with symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia, 34 patients (2.7%) with presumed diagnosis of atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia and orthodromic atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia did not have inducible tachycardia in the electrophysiologic laboratory. Application of radiofrequency energy to the presumed arrhythmogenic sites could achieve a high success rate, with a low recurrence rate in these patients.
