Modulated ventricular parasystole as a mechanism for concealed bigeminy. 1986

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

Concealed extrasystolic ventricular bigeminy reflects a distributional pattern of ventricular extrasystoles where intervening sinus beats are always in odd numbers. This has been explained on bigeminal rhythm associated with exit block. This presentation reflects a modification of this concept in that the distributional pattern may be explained on the basis of complex concealed modulation of ventricular parasystole, the concealment being due to impulses falling within the refractory period rather than suffering true exit block.

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.
