Twenty-one patients suffering from paroxysmal tachycardia (PT) were examined for metabolism of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) in the myocardium as well as for interrelations with the parameters of clinical electrophysiology. It has been shown that the main features of NEFA metabolism in the myocardium of RT patients lie in their high concentration in arterial blood and in the blood of the coronary heart sinus and in their high ratio of extraction by the myocardium both in the presence of sinus rhythm and during RT, which is of the pathogenetic importance in the origin of heart rhythm disturbances. NEFA exert different effects on the antegrade and retrograde (functional and effective) refractory periods of different parts of the conduction system of the heart, favouring the onset of their electrophysiological heterogeneity.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D005230	Fatty Acids, Nonesterified	FATTY ACIDS found in the plasma that are complexed with SERUM ALBUMIN for transport. These fatty acids are not in glycerol ester form.

D013611	Tachycardia, Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry	Abnormally rapid heartbeats caused by reentry of atrial impulse into the dual (fast and slow) pathways of ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE. The common type involves a blocked atrial impulse in the slow pathway which reenters the fast pathway in a retrograde direction and simultaneously conducts to the atria and the ventricles leading to rapid HEART RATE of 150-250 beats per minute.

D014927	Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome	A form of ventricular pre-excitation characterized by a short PR interval and a long QRS interval with a delta wave. In this syndrome, atrial impulses are abnormally conducted to the HEART VENTRICLES via an ACCESSORY CONDUCTING PATHWAY that is located between the wall of the right or left atria and the ventricles, also known as a BUNDLE OF KENT. The inherited form can be caused by mutation of PRKAG2 gene encoding a gamma-2 regulatory subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase.
