Abstract
Atrioventricuiar junctional reentrant tachycardia (AVfBT) is the most common form of paroxysmal regular supraventricular tachycardia. In patients with disabling, drug refractory AVJBT, catheter ablation has evolved rapidly from a last‐resort treatment in the form of interruption of atrioventricular (AV) conduction to selective modification of AV nodal function as an ideal treatment. This article will focus on the frequently unappreciated electrophysiological activities recordable in man in Kach's triangle during ablation of the so‐called slow pathway.Keywords
