Abstract

In 4 patients with recurrent episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation as the only documented arrhythmia, electrophysiologic study showed that atrial fibrillation originated after a very fast transition from atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. Recognition of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia as the triggering factor for atrial fibrillation has important therapeutic consequences.
