Pacemaker related tachycardias. 1982

K Den Dulk, and F W Lindemans, and F W Bär, and H J Wellens

Three cases of pacemaker interactive tachycardia are presented. The first two are [artificial] circus movement tachycardias. In the first one the retrograde arm of the tachycardia circuit was provided by the A-V node and the antegrade arm by an atrial synchronous pulse generator. In the second case, the A-V node and, coincidentally, an A-V sequential pulse generator alternately provided the antegrade arm while the retrograde arm was by way of an accessory pathway. In the third case ventricular inhibition during A-V sequential pacing gave the paced atrial events the chance to be conducted to the ventricles with a long A-V interval. This resulted in a tachycardia with a rate of 150 bpm, instead of the programmed rate of 110 bpm.

D002346 Carotid Sinus The dilated portion of the common carotid artery at its bifurcation into external and internal carotids. It contains baroreceptors which, when stimulated, cause slowing of the heart, vasodilatation, and a fall in blood pressure. Sinus, Carotid
D004594 Electrophysiology The study of the generation and behavior of electrical charges in living organisms particularly the nervous system and the effects of electricity on living organisms.
D005260 Female Females
D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
