Take Home Points
- AVNRT is a common tachydysrhythmia that results from a reentrant loop within the AV node.
- Unstable patients with AVNRT should be considered for immediate synchronized electrical cardioversion.
- Stable patients with AVNRT can have a trial of vagal maneuvers followed by chemical cardioversion with adenosine or verapamil and synchronized electrical cardioversion if that fails.
- Serum troponins should not routinely be obtained.
