title: Successful ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient with left atrial isomerism.
abstract: Left atrial isomerism (LAI) is characterized by the presence of two morphologically identical atria. It is commonly associated with conduction defects. We report a case of LAI presenting with highly symptomatic atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, which was cured by ablation.
