This study demonstrates that patients with poorer conduction properties of the anterograde slow and retrograde fast pathways usually need isoproterenol to facilitate induction of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. Isoproterenol infusion usually facilitates induction of tachycardia by enhancing the retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction.
