Overview
In the past, many cases of AVNRT were referred to as paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, or PAT, or PAT with block. With greater understanding of the underlying electrophysiologic mechanism of these arrhythmias, more specific terminology has now been adapted, and these older non-specific terms are now used to refer to supraventricular tachycardia in general rather than AVNRT in specific.
Historical perspective
- Report of the first successful surgical ablation of an accessory pathway tracks back to 1958 by Cobb et al in 1968.[1]
- First catheter-based ablation in a human being was done by Scheinman in 1981.[2]
- Much of early knowledge of supraventicular tachycardia was derived from electrocardiogram , but the mechanism insight into these rhythm disturbances is due to Durrer et al[3], Coumel et al[4], Wellens[5],Scherlag et al[6], Josephson[7], and Jackman et al[8] hard work.
- Schelrag and collegues developed reliable His bundle ECG recording in late 1960s.
