[The double ventricular response phenomenon in 2 cases of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome]. 1978

L Guize, and B Meilhac, and C Cabanis, and J Di Mattéo, and P Maurice

The authors report two cases of "true" consecutive double ventricular response caused by a single premature atrial stimulation; both were young men with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. In both cases, the presence of a bundle of Kent was confirmed. The phenomenon of double ventricular response arising successively from the bundle of Kent and node-His pathway is rare, being mentioned in only two cases in the literature. It is only found when there is the combination of a good bundle of Kent, fair forward conduction, and a relative ventricle-His retrograde block. Amongst the other mechanisms for double ventricular repsonse, re-entry from branch to branch presents the most difficult differential diagnosis. From our observations, the forward characteristics of the spread through the bundle of His which always procedes the bundle of His which always precedes the second ventricular complex have been confirmed, especially in view of the freat variation in the position of this potential which can easily be explained by variations in intra-nodal conduction. In one of these cases, the atriogram, taken after the second ventriculogram, was provided by retrograde activity in the bundle of Kent.

D002036 Bundle of His Small band of specialized CARDIAC MUSCLE fibers that originates in the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE and extends into the membranous part of the interventricular septum. The bundle of His, consisting of the left and the right bundle branches, conducts the electrical impulses to the HEART VENTRICLES in generation of MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION.

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

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.
