“…When it does, the same ablation interrupts anterograde and retrograde slow pathways, thus suggesting use of the same substrate in both directions 12 , 16–21 . Retrograde conduction often ceases after fast pathway ablation 13 , 22–26 . This interruption and the prevalence of septal breakthrough during retrograde conduction 20 indicate that the fast pathway plays a major role in retrograde AV nodal function 27 .…”

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. Currently there are two broad strategic treatment options for AF: rhythm control and rate control. For rhythm control, the treatment is directed toward restoring and maintaining the sinus rhythm. For rate control, the intention is to slow ventricular rate while allowing AF to continue. In both cases anticoagulation therapy is recommended. The results of currently available clinical trials demonstrated clearly that rate control is not inferior to rhythm control. Thus, rate control is an acceptable primary therapy for many AF patients. The rate control can be achieved essentially by depressing or modifying the filtering properties of the atrioventricular (AV) node. This can be attained by medications that depress the impulse transmission within the AV node, by anatomic modification of the AV communications, as well as by autonomic manipulations that produce AV node negative dromotropic effect. We are reviewing current clinical and newer experimental modalities aimed at enhancing the lifesaving function of this remarkable nodal structure.

“…In Abhängigkeit von den Leitungseigenschaften des AVKnotens für elektrische Impulse werden während Vorhofflimmerns die Kammern ebenfalls unregelmäßig und schnell aktiviert [16]. Die Leitungseigenschaften des AVKnotens sind durch punktförmig angelegte Hochfrequenzstromapplikationen so zu modulieren, dass entweder die Impulsübertragung komplett unterbrochen (= Ablation des AV-Knotens) oder deutlich verlangsamt wird (= Modulation des AV-Knotens) [6,11,14,41].…”
