Abstract
A specific local indicator in the Koch's triangle could be critical to the complication-free treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia by transcatheter radiofrequency ablation. Recording of perinodal slow potential reflects a slow conduction area, and probably indicates the location of the slow pathway component of the circuit. Specific ablation of the slow pathway would carry the least risk of atrioventricular block.
