We have read with interest the article by Sharif et al .1 The authors tested the new method for induction of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). The study group consisted of 10 patients with recurrent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia documented by electrocardiography, in whom tachycardia was not inducible during electrophysiological testing even after isoproterenol infusion and atropine injection. However, dual atrioventricular (AV) node physiology was observed in all cases. The authors attempted to …
