- Abstract
Diagnostic ATP Test for AVNRT. Introduction: We recently reported that administration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during sinus rhythm identifies dual AV nodal physiology (DAVNP) in 76% of patients with inducible sustained AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) at electrophysiologic (EP) study. In that report, however, the ATP test was considered positive for DAVNP only when the results were reproducible at a given dose of ATP. The aim of the present study was to assess the value of a simplified ATP test for noninvasive diagnosis of DAVNP and abolition or modification of the slow pathway (SP) after radio frequency ablation (RFA) in patients with inducible sustained AVNRT.
