Classification and differential diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia.
Recent evidence on atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia has identified several types of this common arrhythmia, with potential therapeutic implications. This article reviews the relevant new information, discusses the differential diagnosis of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia, and summarizes the electrophysiological criteria for classification of the various forms of the arrhythmia.
