The reentry circuit of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) has not been fully demonstrated. We hypothesized that if an upper common pathway was present, the atrial electrogram could not be captured orthodromically during transient entrainment of AVNRT by rapid atrial pacing. Based on this hypothesis, the presence of an upper common pathway was investigated.
