Controversy continues regarding the precise nature of the reentrant circuit of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia, especially the existence of an upper common pathway. In this case report, we show that marked variation and irregularity in atrial activation (maximum AA interval variation of 80 msec) can exist with fixed and constant activation of the His bundle and ventricles during AV nodal reentrant tachycardia in a 45-year-old female patient. We propose that irregular atrial activation is due to variable and inconsistent conduction from the AV node to the atria through the perinodal transitional cell envelope extrinsic to the reentrant circuit. Our observations support the concept of an upper common pathway, at least in some patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia.
