Background: Dual AV node physiology often persists after radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) for AV nodal reentrant tachycardia(AVNRT) but the mechanism of tachycardia eleimination is unresolved. Methods: AV node conduction characteristics were analyzed in 13 consecutive patients (Male 4, Age 50.8±17.0) who showed dual AV node physiology after RFCA for AVNRT. We measured the changes of heart rate(HR), Wenckebach AV block cycle length(WAVBCL), effective refractory periods(ERP) of fast & slow pathway, maximum atrio-His intervals(Max. AH interval) of fast pathway & slow pathway before and after RFCA. Results: Each variable except ERP of fast pathway didn’t show any significant change between before and after RFCA(table). Conclusion: Even though we used the term of slow pathway modification, we couldn’t find any significant electrophysiologic changes of slow pathway followed slow pathway modification. The phenomenon of noninducibilty of AVNRT after slow pathway modification may reflect the alteration of properties of reentrant circuit resulted from the destruction of critical areas rather than the direct affection of the properties of the slow pathway.
