Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia (AVRT) ✨(AVRT) is a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) caused by a reentrant circuit involving the AV node and an accessory pathway (AP). Pathophysiology - Reentry circuit: AV node accessory pathway (AP). - Orthodromic (90%): Narrow QRS ➡️ AP retrograde. - Antidromic (10%): Wide QRS ⚠️ (mimics VT). 📈 ECG Signs: - Orthodromic: Retrograde P wave after QRS, ❌ delta wave during tachycardia. - Antidromic: Wide QRS, delta wave in sinus rhythm (WPW). - WP

🔁 AVRT Quick Visual Guide. 1️⃣ Orthodromic AVRT (Most Common): → Pathway: Antegrade AV node ➡️ Retrograde accessory pathway. → ECG: Narrow QRS, retrograde P waves (RP > PR). → Key: Classic in WPW syndrome. 2️⃣ Antidromic AVRT (Rare): → Pathway: Antegrade accessory pathway ➡️ Retrograde AV node. → ECG: Wide QRS (mimics VT), retrograde P waves (often buried). → Key: Riskier due to preexcitation. #Cardiology #Electrophysiology #AVRT #WPW #ECG | Abdallah Othman
