Abstract
Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia that is refractory to dru g treatment has recently been treated with radiofrequency catheter abl ation. In this case report we describe a patient with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in whom radiofrequency ablation of slow p athway was attempted, with inadvertent damage to the fast pathway. The patient developed marked first-degree atrioventricular block associat ed with symptoms mimicking pacemaker syndrome.
