Shortening of the atrial-His bundle (AH) interval during the sinus rhythm is occasionally observed after slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). In addition, high-rate atrial pacing is useful for avoiding atrioventricular block. We hypothesized that shortening of the AH interval during slow pathway ablation under high-rate atrial pacing would lead to successful ablation of typical AVNRT.
