Supernormal modulation of ventricular parasystole: the triphasic phase-response curve. 1986

G Oreto, and G Satullo, and F Luzza, and F Consolo, and L Schamroth

Modulation of ventricular parasystole by sinus beats has been shown both in vitro and in vivo to result in a classic biphasic phase-response curve. The first clinical presentation of 3 cases of supernormal modulation of ventricular parasystole resulting in a triphasic phase response curve is reported. Supernormal modulation reflects an unexpected early enhancement expedition of the ectopic ventricular impulses. An alternative explantation for the triphasic phase-response curve is the discharge and resetting of the parasystolic focus by critically timed sinus impulses.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

D005117 Cardiac Complexes, Premature A group of cardiac arrhythmias in which the cardiac contractions are not initiated at the SINOATRIAL NODE. They include both atrial and ventricular premature beats, and are also known as extra or ectopic heartbeats. Their frequency is increased in heart diseases.
