Sinus and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in the same patient
Abstract:
Sinus and atrioventricular (A-V) nodal reentry are shown to coexist in the same patient, and the following conclusions are drawn: (1) Reentry at one nodal site may mask reentry at the other nodal site, (2) concealed reentry at either site may become manifest reentry under the appropriate conditions, (3) manifest sinus nodal reentry may alternate with manifest A-V nodal reentry, and (4) a Wenckebach type phenomenon manifest in the A-V node and concealed in the sinus node may in some instances be the basis for coexistent sinus and A-V nodal reentry in man.

Sinus Node Arrhythmias
Sinus Bradycardia: Originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node, sinus bradycardia involves slower impulses, resulting in a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute (bpm). Causes include sleep, vagal stimulation, beta-blockers, hypothyroidism, and...
