| Definition / notes: | is suggested by a regular ventricular response (Accelerated junctional rhythm) in combination with atrial fibrillation. In the presence of an accessory atrioventricular pathway, atrial fibrillation can manifest as a rapid, irregularly irregular wide complex tachycardia that can resemble ventricular tachycardia closely. It should be suspected particularly in young patients with very rapid tachycardia that is well tolerated hemodynamically. Close examination of the EKG will reveal irregularly irregular RR intervals. In this case: It is important to obtain a 12-lead EKG before cardioversion because the location of the pathway, and therefore the risks of a subsequent curative catheter-mediated radiofrequency ablation procedure, can be estimated fairly accurately from the 12-lead EKG. |
