Résumé
Junctional tachycardia (JT) is typically considered to have an automatic mechanism originating from the distal atrioventricular node. When there is 1:1 retrograde conduction via the fast pathway, JT would resemble the typical form of atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Atrial pacing maneuvers have been proposed to exclude AVNRT and suggest a diagnosis of JT. However, after excluding AVNRT, one should consider the possibility of an infra-atrial narrow QRS re-entrant tachycardia, which can exhibit features that resemble AVNRT as well as JT. Pacing maneuvers and mapping techniques should be performed to assess for infra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia before concluding that JT is the mechanism of a narrow QRS tachycardia. Distinguishing JT from typical AVNRT or infra-atrial re-entrant tachycardia has notable implications regarding the approach to ablation of the tachycardia. Ultimately, a contemporary review of the evidence on JT raises some questions as to the mechanism and source of what has traditionally been considered JT.
