Answer 3

AVRT: AV re-entrant tachycardia
Orthodromic + antidromic

form of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia that occurs in patients with accessory pathways, usually due to formation of a re-entry circuit between the AV node and accessory pathway.

Question 4

what is orthodromic AVRT?

Answer 4

In orthodromic AVRT, anterograde conduction is via the AV node, producing a regular narrow complex rhythm (in the absence of pre-existing bundle branch block)

Question 5

what is antidromic?

Answer 5

In antidromic AVRT, anterograde conduction is via the accessory pathway (AP), producing a regular wide complex rhythm. This can be difficult to distinguish from ventricular tachycardia (VT)
