The anatomical substrate for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is well known and is due to anterograde conduction through a siow conducting pathway and retrograde conduction using a fast conducting path way. In this report, we describe a patient with AVNRT who also presented with frequent episodes of paroxysmal nonreentrant tachycardia due to the occurrence of two conducted ventricular beats for each sinus depolarization. Palpitations and arrhythmias were abolished after radiofrequency ablation of the slow pathway.
