AVNRT Flashcards
This tachycardia is
Reentrant
AVNRT requires
A trigger (premature beat)
2 pathways
-fast conduction slow refractory
-slow conduction fast refractory
The pathway is located in
AV node
Presence of 2 pathways in avnrt is known as
Dual AV node or dual AV nodal physiology
AV node is located in the
Lower atrial septum
Triangle of Koch is made up of
Tendon of todaro Septal leaflet of tricuspid AV node (top of triangle)
CSos is the base
The triangle of Koch serves as
Anatomical landmark to locate the dual pathway
The slow pathway is typically found between
CSos and TVA
Fast pathway generally found between
Anterior and septal in the RA
AVNRT is a
Micro reentrant pathway
How are contraction of the atria and ventricles different than a normal sinus beat?
Both atria and ventricles contract nearly at the same time
The activation moves down the _____ and up the _____ pathway
Slow
Fast
Counterclockwise
