Nonreentrant atrioventricular (AV) nodal tachycardia is a rare form of arrhythmia due to simultaneous anterograde conduction in dual AV pathways, one atrial impulse triggering two ventricular complexes. We report the case of a 74-year-old man referred for incessant palpitations resistant to antiarrhythmic medication, and effort dyspnea. A nonreentrant AV nodal tachycardia is diagnosed with electrophysiological study. A dilated cardiomyopathy with left ventricular dysfunction is found with gated blood pool single-photon emission computed tomography. A radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway is successfully performed. The patient is reassessed 11 months after ablation. He is asymptomatic and left ventricular function has fully recovered.
