Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most common regular, sustained paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. AVNRT affects mainly young and middle-aged otherwise healthy adults. An electrophysiology study is mandatory to definitively diagnose and differentiate this arrhythmia from other supraventricular tachycardias with similar electrocardiographic features. Catheter ablation is currently the best therapeutic option for symptomatic patients, and while not without risk, it is generally very well-tolerated. This activity reviews the role of electrophysiology study and catheter ablation in the diagnosis and treatment of AVNRT and highlights the role of the healthcare team in the management of patients with this arrhythmia.
