NCIt synonyms : AV Reentrant Tachycardia; Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia by EKG Finding; Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia;
NCIt related terms : AV RE-ENTRANT TACHYCARDIA; AV Reentrant Supraventricular Tachycardia;
NCIt definition : An electrocardiographic finding of a regular supraventricular tachycardia which utilizes
an atrioventricular bypass tract as its retrograde limb (orthodromic tachycardia)
or as its antegrade limb (antidromic tachycardia). QRS complexes during sinus rhythm
may show preexcitation. During orthodromic tachycardia the preexcitation is not present
and a retrograde P wave may appear after the QRS complex. During antidromic tachycardia
the QRS complex is preexcited. (CDISC);
