Multiple reentry tachycardia in patients with ventricular preexcitation: report of three cases. 1986

I Murabit, and E Sosa, and F Pileggi, and P Denes

The electrophysiologic studies of three patients with accessory pathways and multiple reentrant circuits are reported. The first patient had two atrioventricular accessory pathways: a left posterior capable of bidirectional conduction and a right paraseptal with retrograde conduction only. Four atrioventricular reentry circuits were documented: left and right orthodromic circuits and a left antidromic circuit with retrograde conduction over the right paraseptal accessory pathway. The second patient had a left lateral atrioventricular accessory pathway with type A preexcitation. Two reentrant tachycardias were noted: an atrial tachycardia where the accessory pathway remained concealed and an orthodromic atrioventricular tachycardia. The third patient had dual atrioventricular nodal pathways and a right nodofascicular accessory pathway. The accessory pathway became manifest only when a critical atrioventricular delay was reached, indicating its association with the slow atrioventricular nodal pathway. Wide QRS tachycardia with left bundle branch block contour was documented, by means of the slow atrioventricular nodal pathway and nodofascicular fiber antegradely, and the proximal right bundle branch, the His bundle, and the fast atrioventricular nodal pathway retrogradely.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011226 Pre-Excitation Syndromes A group of conditions in which HEART VENTRICLE activation by the atrial impulse is faster than the normal impulse conduction from the SINOATRIAL NODE. In these pre-excitation syndromes, atrial impulses often bypass the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE delay and travel via ACCESSORY CONDUCTING PATHWAYS connecting the atrium directly to the BUNDLE OF HIS.

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
