Short PR interval and narrow QRS complex associated with pheochromocytoma: electrophysiologic observations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with a short (0.10 second) PR interval, narrow QRS complex and palpitation is described. Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated the presence of accelerated atrioventricular (AV) nodal conduction. Subsequently, a pheochromocytoma was found. Surgical removal of the tumor resulted in normalization of the PR interval. These findings suggest that the short PR interval and the accelerated AV nodal conduction were due to the effect of excess catecholamines on the AV conduction system.

A Case of Lown-Ganong-Levine Syndrome: Due to an Accessory Pathway of James Fibers or Enhanced Atrioventricular Nodal Conduction (EAVNC)?
BACKGROUND Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome, includes a short PR interval, normal QRS complex, and paroxysmal tachycardia. The pathophysiology of this syndrome includes an accessory pathway connecting the atria and the atrioventricular (AV) node (James fiber), or between the atria and the His bundle (Brechenmacher fiber). Similar features are seen in enhanced atrioventricular nodal conduction (EAVNC...

A 21-year old man with history of 8 year palpitation was referred for electrophysiologic study and possible radiofrequency ablation. Physical examination and transthoracic echocardiographic study did not disclose any abnormality. Baseline ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with normal PR and QRS intervals and no evidence of preexcitation. Antiarrhythmic drugs (propranolol and verapamil) were discon...

Intracardiac electrophysiological studies were performed in two patients with a documented history of repetitive supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Case 1, with short PR interval and narrow QRS complexes had a short AH interval and intermittent right bundle-branch block. Thus the short PR wide QRS syndrome is not always a result of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome but can also be seen in the ...

An electrophysiologic procedure was performed in a 50-year-old man with a 20-year history of paroxysmal tachycardia. During sinus rhythm, the atrial-His (AH) interval was 70 msec, the His-ventricular (HV) interval was 45 msec, and the QRS width was 80 msec. During atrial pacing at a cycle length of 290 msec, there was widening of the QRS complex (Fig. 1). The transition from a narrow to wide QR...

Electrophysiologic study of a 55-year-old patient with Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome associated with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is reported. The patient had a history of recurrent attacks of tachyarrhythmia and his electrocardiogram showed a short P-R interval (0.10 sec) with narrow QRS complex and left ventricular hypertrophy with giant negative T waves. His cineangiogram showed severe a...
