Successful Ablation for Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in a Patient with Left Atrial Isomerism

Left atrial isomerism (LAI) is characterized by the presence of two morphologically identical atria. It is commonly associated with conduction defects. We report a case of LAI presenting with highly symptomatic atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, which was cured by ablation. (PACE 2012; 35...

Summary:Left atrial isomerism (LAI) is characterized by the presence of two morphologically identical atria. It is commonly associated with conduction defects. We report a case of LAI presenting with highly symptomatic atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, which was cured by ablation. (PACE 2012; 35:e291–e292)
