Pseudo‐Pacemaker Syndrome After AV Nodal Ablation. Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia that is refractory to drug treatment has recently been treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. In this case report we describe a patient with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in whom radiofrequency ablation of slow pathway was attempted, with inadvertent damage to the fast pathway. The patient developed marked first‐degree atrioventricular block associated with symptoms mimicking pacemaker syndrome.
