      How the heart works. The human heart is a muscle, about the size of your fist. It works like a pump, sending blood around your body, allowing your organs to function. If you are being treated for heart rhythm problems, you may find it helpful to read this factsheet in order to understand how your heart and its electrical system functions.

      This is achieved by introducing cardiac catheters into the right atrium, through the right femoral vein at the patients groin. Radio Frequency energy is then delivered through the ablation catheter, to create lesions to block the abnormal electrical pathway or focus initiating the arrhythmia.

      However, its location varies. A bypass tract is a hair-like tissue that conducts electrical impulses. This tract connects the upper chambers with the lower chambers, on the left or right side of the heart. Sometimes an impulse travels down the normal pathway and back up the abnormal bypass tract. This creates a fast circle of electricity.

      In AVRT, an electrical impulse travels down one pathway, either through the AV node or the accessory pathway, and then back up the other, creating a repeating loop. This circular or “reentrant” electrical activity sends impulses to the ventricles at an abnormally high rate, causing the heart to beat from 140 to 250 beats per minute (bpm).

      AV Re-entry Tachycardia (AVRT) and/or Wolff-Parkinson White Syndrome (WPW) In AVRT an extra electrical pathway exists that bypasses the normal conduction system. The pathway directly connects the atria (top chambers of the heart) to the ventricles (the bottom chambers of the heart). This extra pathway is known as an accessory pathway.

      The normal electrical conduction system consists of a “pathway” of conduction responsible for all normal beats. However, sometimes this pathway can be bypassed due to extra electrical connections, or “pathways”, or extra pathways combine with the normal pathway and result in a short-circuit. These short-circuits can result in rapid heart beat. Often …

      The heart has its own electrical conduction system. The conduction system sends signals throughout the upper (atria) and lower (ventricles) chambers of the heart to make it beat in a regular, coordinated rhythm. The conduction system consists of two areas called nodes that contain conduction cells and special pathways that transmit the impulse.
