Adenosine‐sensitive focal atrial tachycardia (AT) has been shown to originate in the confined area near the His‐bundle. While several pieces of evidence support focal reentry as the primary underlying mechanism, few studies have clearly demonstrated entrainment. In this report, we present a case of adenosine‐sensitive focal AT by focal reentry, wherein we were able to obtain clear evidence for entrainment.
