• Premature Atrial Contractions

  This arrhythmia can start suddenly after a premature atrial contraction which can be either atrial or junctional in nature. Clinically the patient can present with palpitation, shortness of breath, dizziness, and syncope. [youtube.com]

  Most patients, during AVNRT, antegrade conduction occurs to the ventricle over the slow (alpha) pathway and retrograde conduction occurs over the fast (beta) pathway. (7) In most instances of AVNRT, a premature atrial contraction (PAC) is blocked in the [alivecor.com]

  If a premature atrial contraction, or PAC, or less commonly a premature ventricular contraction, or PVC, occurs at the right time, the normal conduction pathway will still be refractory; thus, the action potential will conduct through the fast AV nodal [healio.com]

Prognosis The prognosis for patients with atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) is usually good in the absence of structural heart disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis Prognosis is dependent on any underlying structural heart disease. Patients with a structurally normal heart have an excellent prognosis. In the absence of manifest pre-excitation (WPW syndrome), the risk of sudden death is very small. [patient.info]

This arrhythmia is usually stable and the prognosis is much more favorable than VT. It is usually treated with vagal maneuvers or adenosine. What does aberrancy mean? You can think of “aberrancy” as abnormal conduction. [aclsmedicaltraining.com]

Pathophysiology and types of AVNRT AVNRT is caused by a reentry circuit in or around the AV node. The circuit is formed by the creation of two pathways forming the re-entrant circuit, namely the slow and fast pathways. [litfl.com]

Pathophysiology The AV node in these patients behaves functionally as if there were two separate pathways through the node. The two pathways (alfa and beta pathways ) are differentiated by their characteristic electophysiologic pr operties. [af-ablation.org]

After electrophysiological studies, treatment directed at suppressing AV nodel reentry prevented recurrent tachycardia. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
