PREVIOUS STUDIES HAVE SHOWN that for each rapid eye movement of lowvoltage fast sleep there is a corresponding monophasic wave of 100-140 msec. in the lateral geniculate body of the cat (8). These waves do not depend upon the presence of the retina or the eye muscle afferents (5, 22). In fact, follow ,ing either retinal photocoagulation of the optic disc or enucleation of the eyes, these genicu...

Transient entrainment of circus-movement tachycardia utilizing an atrioventricular (AV) bypass pathway was studied in 13 patients (nine with the orthodromic form, two with the antidromic form, and two with both the orthodromic and antidromic forms). All patients had a leftsided AV bypass pathway. Pacing at selected rates faster than the spontaneous rate was performed during the tachycardia at a...

We analyzed the effect of functional fascicular block (FFB) on ventriculoatrial conduction time (VACT) during orthodromic tachycardia (OT) in 32 patients with single accessory pathway (AP) of the Kent bundle type. The location of AP was left free wall (LFW-AP) in 21 patients, left posteroseptal in 6, right free wall in 2, and right anteroseptal in 3. FFB either alone or in combination with func...

AIMS The aim of this study was to compare cardiac autonomic regulation in patients with a history of paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, such as atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, and healthy controls. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventeen patients with paroxysmal atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (atrioventricular nodal reent...
