Two patients are described who had atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with 1:1 relationship in the control state, but in whom a varying degree of VA block during AVNRT was observed during therapy with aprindine. Aprindine, however, did not cause anterograde blockade of conduction over the slow AV nodal pathway during tachycardia. These observations support the conclusion that the bulk of atrial muscle is not a requisite part of the tachycardia circuit in AVNRT and that antiarrhythmic drugs may have disparate effects on conduction in the retrograde and anterograde limbs of the circuit.

D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.

D013611 Tachycardia, Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry Abnormally rapid heartbeats caused by reentry of atrial impulse into the dual (fast and slow) pathways of ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE. The common type involves a blocked atrial impulse in the slow pathway which reenters the fast pathway in a retrograde direction and simultaneously conducts to the atria and the ventricles leading to rapid HEART RATE of 150-250 beats per minute.
