title: Catheter ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
abstract: The current status of catheter ablation techniques for the management of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia is outlined in this article. Some pertinent aspects of the atrioventricular nodal anatomy and physiology are discussed, to the extent that they are essential for understanding of the mechanism of this arrhythmia and the technique of catheter ablation.
