[Electrophysiological demonstration of more structures in the atrioventricular node (author's transl)]. 1978

Three types of atrioventricular nodal conduction curves, relating A1A2 to H1H2, generated with atrial extrastimulus technique, are known. The first type is smooth, suggesting the homogeneous structure of A-V node. The second type, with abrupt increase in H1H2 response over a critical range of A1A2 coupling intervals, suggests the presence of fast and slow A-V nodal pathways. We have found in five patients the third tipe of A-V conduction curve, giving evidence of an intranodal final common pathway, distal to the fast and slow A-V nodal pathways. The thyrd type of curve enables us to know also some alectrophysiological properties of final common pathway. Indeed we have defined effective and functional refractory periods of fast, slow and final common pathways as far as we can in this type of curve. Paced heart rate variations and atropine medications have led the third type of A-V conduction curve to change into the second type in three cases, into first type in one case. These changes of A-V nodal conduction curves are related to different influence of cardiac cycle lenghts and autonomic nervous system on refractory periods and conduction velocity of the outlined intranodal structures.
