Abstract
We report a case of 78-year-old man admitted to the hospital due to palpitations and lightheadedness. On EKG advanced atrioventricular block with ventricular rate of 37 beats per minute was noted. On electrophysiology study a common type of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia was inducible with maintenance of advanced AV block. Radiofrequency ablation of slow pathway followed by placement of a permanent pacemaker resulted in elimination of tachycardia and resolution of symptoms.Entities:
