Popis: Background: Reentrant atrial tachycardia involving interatrial septum is associated with higher likelihood of recurrence. We assessd the procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes of catheter ablation for macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia involving interatrial septum (septal AT). Methods: The consecutive 49 patients with atrial tachycardia which was directly terminated during ablation were divided into 3 groups, based on the mechanism; septal AT, macro-reentrant AT which does not involve interatrial septum within the circuit (non-septal AT), or focal AT. Results: Clinical AT was septal AT in 9, non-septal AT in 21, and focal AT in 19 patients. Prevalence of underlying structural heart disease was the highest in patients with septal AT (78 vs 40 vs 7%, p
