AVNRT causes
Introduction
Overview
Overview
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia results from a reentrant circuit in the AV node. The causes include: Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome, Mahaim fiber tachycardia, mitral valve prolapse, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. It has also been reported to have a familial etiology.

Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia is usually not life-threatening.
