A Preexcited Left Bundle Branch Block Tachycardia
نویسنده
چکیده
A 52-year-old woman underwent an electrophysiologic prtKedure because of a 30-year history of recurrent episodes of paroxysmal tachycardia. The baseline sinus cycle length wa.s 600 msec and the QRS complexes had a left bundle branch block configuration, with a QRS duration of 120 msec. The atrial-His (AH) and His-ventricular (HV) intervals were 90 and 20 msec, respectively. Programmed atrial stimulation with a sitigle extrastimulus demonstrated progressively greater degrees of ventricular preexcitation. with the HV interval shortening to -15 msec as the AV interval increased from 110 to 200 msec. Programmed atrial stimulation with two extrastimuH resulted in the induction of a tachycartha that had a cycle length of 310 msec and a left bundle branch block conflguratit^n (Fig. I), identical to the QRS complexes generated in response to

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atriofascicular and nodoventricular Mahaim tracts.
BACKGROUND Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of tachycardia in patients with Mahaim tracts. The tachycardia may involve antegrade conduction over an atriofascicular pathway with decremental properties or a nodofascicular pathway. METHODS AND RESULTS We report six patients with recurrent episodes of preexcited tachycardia with findings consistent with "Mahaim tr...
متن کاملAV nodal reentrant tachycardia with Mahaim fiber conduction.
Paroxysmal tachycardia with widened QRS complexes was found in a 46-year-old woman. In sinus rhythm, the patient had electrocardiographic evidence of type B preexcitation with a left bundle branch block pattern. The resting PR interval (160 msec) and A-H interval (100 msec) were within normal limits, but the H-V interval (10 msec) was abnormally short. Programmed atrial extrastimuli at progress...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of Mahaim fibers at the tricuspid annulus.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of radiofrequency catheter ablation of Mahaim fibers at the tricuspid annulus. METHODS AND RESULTS Four patients who fulfilled criteria for having Mahaim fibers and preexcited reciprocating tachycardia underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation. Three patients had atriofascicular connections, and one patient had an atrioventricu...
