Abstract
Exercise seldom provokes tachycardia in patients with paroxysmal supraventr icular tachycardia (PSVT). This report presents a case of exercise-induced uncommon atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with sick sin us syndrome. Treadmill exercise testing provoked AVNRT of long RP' with goo d reproducibility. Uncommon AVNRT was confirmed by the lack of atrial pre-e xcitation during PSVT and para-Hisian pacing. The patient has been successf ully treated with verapamil and DDD pacing for 5 years.
