In the atypical form of (AVNRT), anterograde conduction is via the fast  pathway and retrograde conduction is via the slow pathway and it is associated  with a long R-P interval. Methods and Results- Among 133 Iranian patients with frequent episodes of AVNRT, which was documented by electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablative therapy, only one patient had atypical form of AVNRT; thus the incidence was 0.75% in our patients. Slow pathway ablation was performed on our patient with atypical form of AVNRT without any complications.  In 3 years of follow-up, the patient was free of arrhythmia without any anti-arrhythmic drugs.  Conclusions- This study demonstrates that the incidence of atypical AVNRT in our patients    was less than proviously reported srudies.  }, keywords = {RF CATHETER ABLATION.
