Sinus node reentry: case report and review of electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic features

Texas Heart Institute Journal

Abstract

We report a case of sinus node reentry, an uncommon form of supraventricular tachycardia in a patient with no organic heart disease. This tachycardia appeared at times with wide QRS complexes, which made the differentiation between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia somewhat difficult. The purpose of this report is to discuss features of sinoatrial node reentry tachycardia, both on surface electrocardiography and intracardiac electrography. Electrophysiologic studies are usually required to confirm the diagnosis.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
