German term

ARVT

German Medical Medical: Cardiology
This acronym appears in the diagnosis of a patient - in German, but I don't know for sure if it is a German acronym or an English medical acronym, internationally accepted.

Please have a look at the context:
Diagnosen: Auschluss einer bedeutsamen kardialen Erkrankung, Z. n. Ablation einer ARVT 2002 [...]
2002 wurde eine Ablation bei ARVT durchgeführt. Er hat ein leises Herzgeräusch. Sie hatten mir den Patienten vorgestellt zur kardiovaskulären Abklärung.

What can this ARVT stand for in this context?
Sorry for writing in English. You can answer either in English or German, at your best convenience.

Vielen Dank im Voraus,
Maria

In fact, AVRT... seems to be a more common abbreviation in German, I found the following information: http://www.med-serv.de/ma-2209-avrt.html
AV-Knoten Reentrytachykardie
Die Reentrytachykardie des atrioventrikulären Knotens ist die häufigste Ursache von anfallsartig auftretendem schnellen Kammerrhythmus.
That is why I couldn't find it on German sites, I suppose :)

Not sure, but AVRT is a common abbreviation, used in English and German. You should easily find more details in the Internet to check whether it fits your document.
Note from asker:
Yes, it fits the context, thank you so much!
