Dual independent atrial tachycardias after ablation of chronic atrial fibrillation.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Several studies have shown that the fast pathway is more responsive to adenosine than the slow pathway in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Little information is available regarding the effect of adenosine on anterograde and retrograde fast pathway conduction. METHODS AND RESULTS:The effects o...
