Atrioventricular node - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The atrioventricular node (abbreviated AV node ) is a part of electrical control system of the heart that co-ordinates heart rate. It electrically connects atrial and ventricular chambers. The AV ...

AV nodal reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia ( AVNRT ) is a type of tachycardia (fast rhythm) of the heart. It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), meaning that it originates from a location within t...

Retrograde block during atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia is considered a rare phenomenon that can potentially occur in the AV node or in the atrium. ... Pharmacological and stimulation maneuvers identified the site of block in the AV node and not in the atrium. Thus, AV nodal reentry can be confined to the...
