Female preponderance in atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia, but no sex related electrophysiological differences
2015
International Cardiovascular Forum Journal
The mechanism behind the female preponderance for atrio-ventricular node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is not clear.<br />We compared baseline electrophysiological measurements and clinical data in 141 consecutive patients (96 women) who<br />underwent successful AVNRT ablation at their fi rst therapeutic procedure. Women had on average 9% higher resting<br />heart rate than men (p<0.05), but were similar in all measures of AV node function. Isoproterenol infusion was required<br />for AVNRT
