AbstractA 21-year-old man with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome and aneurysmal septal dyskinesis underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation of the accessory pathways. Before radiofrequency catheter ablation, the activation wavefront arose from the aneurysmal septum, whereas the propagation of the left ventricle was normalised after radiofrequency catheter ablation. These findings demonstrate the importance of the electro-mechanical interaction in patients with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome and ventricular dysfunction.

We present a case of complete atrioventricular (AV) block following slow pathway ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) treated only by colchicine administration. The patient’s electrocardiogram showed complete AV-block at two weeks after catheter ablation. Colchicine is effective for late-onset AV-block caused by catheter ablation for AVNRT.

Abstract Background Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is a common supraventricular arrhythmia that is frequently encountered in an otherwise healthy patient population. Recent guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology underline the role of catheter ablation in the long-term management of these patients. Case summary This case describes the clinical presentation and treatment options in a patient with typical slow/fast AVNRT, the most common subform of AVNRT, where antegrade conduction occurs over the slow pathway and retrograde conduction over the fast pathway. The ablation strategy in these patients is illustrated based on intracardiac recordings in combination with per-procedural three-dimensional imaging. Discussion Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia is a common arrhythmia with good prognosis but significant impact on quality of life of affected patients. Catheter ablation should be considered early as it can be performed safely and with a very high success rate.
