Nodal reentrant supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia corresponds to a reentry circuit established between fibers with different conduction velocities and refractory periods in the atrioventricular node. These are the slow and fast nodal pathways. That ventricular tissue does not form part of the circuit of this arrhythmia is accepted nowadays, and the involvement of atrial tissue is discussed. We report a 57 years old male with a nodal reentrant tachycardia. In the electrophysiological study he presented an atrial and ventricular dissociation during the tachycardia. These findings allow a better understanding of the electrophysiological substrate of this arrhythmia.

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.

D013615 Tachycardia, Sinoatrial Nodal Reentry Abnormally rapid heartbeats caused by reentry circuit in or around the SINOATRIAL NODE. It is characterized by sudden onset and offset episodes of tachycardia with a HEART RATE of 100-150 beats per minute. The P wave is identical to the sinus P wave but with a longer PR interval.
