Narrow irregular QRS tachycardia with AV dissociation: what is the mechanism?

abstract：INTRODUCTION:We report the case of a 36-year-old patient with a longstanding history of paroxysmal tachycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS:During the electrophysiological study, the H-V interval was prolonged in sinus rhythm, and a second potential (H'') with distal to proximal activation pattern was recorded in the region o...
