The world's largest family with familial atrio-ventricular nodal reentry tachycardia. 2015

Sebastian Stec, and Karol Deutsch, and Agnieszka Zienciuk-Krajka

We report a three-generation family coming from southeastern region of Poland (Podkarpackie voivodship) with 6 women having normal hearts and presenting with a history of paroxysmal tachycardia with onset of symptoms in the adulthood. Recordings of clinical SVT, dual AVN electrophysiology, induction of typical AVNRT and results of RFCA are available. The history of this family shows the significance of a careful and detailed collection of medical history, and point towards the importance of family screening in AVNRT patients.

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.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
