Two-to-one sinoatrial block. Normalization by carotid massage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a clinical case of 2:1 sinoatrial block, carotid massage, paradoxically, released the sinoatrial block and doubled the manifest sinus rate. This resulted from a deceleration of the sinus discharge rate which allowed consecutive sinus impulses to traverse the sinoatrial junction.

Termination of ventricular tachycardia by carotid sinus massage.
Intracardiac electrophysiologic studies were performed in two patients who had recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia. In both, the tachycardia was repeatedly terminated by carotid massage. In one patient, intracardiac electrophysiologic studies revealed ventricular tachycardia with 2:1 retrograde ventriculoatrial (VA) block. Carotid massage resulted in alternate Wenckebach retrograde VA c...
متن کاملThe origins of the sinus node pacemaker complex in man: demonstration of dominant and subsidiary foci.
To test the hypothesis that the human sinus node is capable of demonstrating multiple sites of impulse generation, we assessed spontaneous shifts in the sinus node pacemaker complex, and shifts after overdrive atrial pacing, premature atrial stimulation and carotid sinus massage. A total of 24 patients aged 59 +/- 15 years (mean +/- SD) in whom stable sinus node electrograms were obtained were ...
متن کاملEstimated Sinoatrial Conduction Time
Sinus node electrograms (SNEs) were recorded in 44 patients using a standard quadripolar electrode catheter (USCI #6) with 10-mm interelectrode distance. In 23 patients, the catheter was positioned at the junction of the superior vena cava (SVC) and right atrial (RA) wall so that the concave curve of the catheter was facing the concave surface of the RA wall. The distal poles of the catheter we...

متن کاملHis bundle recordings in paroxysmal atrioventricular block produced by carotid sinus massage.
Electrograms from the bundle of His were recorded in two patients with acute myocardial infarction during paroxysmal atrioventricular block induced by carotid sinus massage. From the viewpoint of the surface electrocardiogram this arrhythmia was considered as a form of Type II (Mobitz) Ulo:k, the onset of which was related to a decrease in atrial rate. In the first patient, the conduction distu...
