Uncommon fast-slow variant of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)
Uncommon fast-slow variant of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)
Diagrammatic representation in the circuit (left panel) and the ladder diagram (right panel) of the uncommon form of AVNRT (fast-slow variant). Antegrade conduction is through the fast (F) pathway and retrograde conduction is through the slow (S) pathway. Because of slow retrograde activation of the atrium, the P wave occurs after the QRS complex with a long RP interval and relatively short PR interval before the next QRS complex.
