title: Randomized comparison of slow pathway modification within the posteroseptal versus the midseptal area in patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
abstract: A total of 332 local electrogram recordings including 62 successful and 270 unsuccessful sites were analyzed. Univariate analysis revealed that there was a longer duration and more peaks of the atrial electrogram with a lower atrioventricular ratio and a higher incidence and shorter onset time of junctional ectopy during energy delivery at successful than at unsuccessful target sites.
