Coexistent Wenckebach phenomenon in the distal branches of the specialized conduction system.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient in whom Wenckebach phenomenon was observed to coexist in the three distal branches of the specialized ventricular conduction system, with an intermittent trifascicular block producing a second degree A-V block, is described. Surface electrocardiogram demonstrated the presence of this phenomenon in the right bundle branch (RBB) and the anterior division of the left bundle branch (LBB). Evidence of the presence of Wenckebach phenomenon in the remaining fascicle was provided by His bundle recording.

Concealed intraventricular conduction in the His bundle electrogram.
Multiple areas of concealed intraventricular conduction are deduced on the basis of aftereffects observed in His bundle recordings. Electrocardiograms and His bundle recordings are presented from two patients with unstable bilateral bundle branch block, the instability of which depended on the interval at which ventricular depolarization was initiated by sinus or paced impulses. This circumstan...
متن کامل[Anatomy of cardiac nodes and atrioventricular specialized conduction system].
Concomitant with the development of catheter ablation techniques for the treatment of atrial arrhythmias, there has been renewed interest in the morphologic arrangement of the cardiac conduction system. The first descriptions of the anatomy of the nodes and atrioventricular conduction system appeared nearly 100 years ago. Since then the subject has been controversial, possibly because of the ea...
متن کاملDouble Wenckebach phenomenon in atrioventricular node and His bundle. Electrophysiological demonstration in a case of atrial flutter.
In a case of atrial flutter with a 9:2 atrioventricular response, the only possible way to explain the conduction pattern was 3:1 block in the atrioventicular node (which is 3:2 Wenckebach sequence in the N zone and a 2:1 block at the junction of the node with the bundle of His) plus 3:2 Wenckebach sequence distal to the H deflection. The recording of the His bundle deflection confirmed this an...
متن کاملThe Wenckebach phenomenon in sino-atrial block.
Disturbances in conduction analogous to those occurring at the atrio-ventricular (A-V) node may be present at the sino-atrial (S-A) junction. When second degree block occurs at the S-A junction, it may adopt the form of the Wenckebach phenomenon. Early descriptions of this arrhythmia were presented by Wenckebach (1906), Rihl (1908), and Wenckebach and Winterberg (1914). There have been relative...
متن کاملStudies on ventriculo-atrial conduction and the reentry phenomenon.
SUMMARY Ventriculo-atrial conduction and the reentry phenomenon was studied during right ventricular and bundle of His pacing in the intact dog heart. Bipolar electrogram recordings were obtained from the sinus node, Bachman's bundle, the right and left atria, the bundle of His, and the ventricle. Retrograde conduction resulted in a specific change in the sequence of atrial activation. The reco...
