A total of 8 patients with junctional tachycardia (JT) were included for study. Patients with JT had a supraventricular arrhythmia that was initiated by a junctional complex without PR prolongation and episodes of atrioventricular (AV) dissociation. JT could not be initiated by pacing and occurred either spontaneously (3 patients) or with isoproterenol (5 patients). Tachycardia could be consistently terminated by either carotid sinus massage (1 patient), intravenous adenosine (2 patients), or critically timed ventricular premature complexes (3 patients). In 6 of the 8 other patients, tachycardia foci (atrial or ventricular) or mechanisms (AV node reentry) were found. Two patients underwent complete AV junctional ablation and 2 had termination of tachycardia without change in the AV conduction by perinodal application of radiofrequency lesions. AVJT appears to be due to abnormal automaticity and may be successfully ablated by application of radiofrequency energy to perinodal areas.
