- Abstract
We present the case of a healthy 12-year-old boy without structural heart disease who was followed for several years for an arrhythmia with diverse and incorrect initial diagnoses, refractory to flecainide, metoprolol and verapamil. Thorough reevaluation of the electrocardiographic recordings led to a presumptive diagnosis of a non-reentrant atrioventricular nodal tachycardia, subsequently confirmed with electrophysiology study. Radiofrequency ablation was performed during the procedure and the arrhythmia resolved. Double conduction through the atrioventricular node often simulates other arrhythmias, leading to misdiagnosis., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
