Aberrant Ventricular Conduction
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Escape beats recorded in clinical electrocardiograms sometimes differ in contour and QRS duration from conducted beats, and this in spite of their having a relatively short cycle length. This suggests a location of the subsidiary pacemaker above the bifurcation of the common A-V bundle. While this, unlike other types of aberrant ventricular conduction, cannot be explained on a functional basis, recent investigations on the structure of the normal A-V junction suggest that "paraspecific" A-V connections may act as preferential pathways to the ventricles in some A-V nodal escape beats. Difficulties and guides in differentiating A-V nodal from ventricular escapes under such circumstances are pointed out. On the basis of clinical, electrocardiographic and anatomic facts such a normal preferential A-V conduction must be distinguished from an abnormal accessory A-V conduction causing the pIe-excitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White) syndrome. However, the two may occur in association.

Differentiation between aberrant ventricular conduction and ventricular ectopy in atrial fibrillation using RR interval scattergram.
BACKGROUND Differentiation between aberrant ventricular conduction and ventricular ectopy during atrial fibrillation (AF) is of etiologic, prognostic, and therapeutic importance. We developed a noninvasive technique to diagnose aberrant ventricular conduction and ventricular ectopy in AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied the Holter ECGs of 34 patients with paroxysmal AF and 62 patients with chr...

Aberrant ventricular conduction definition: It is a term applied to alterations in QRS contour of supraventricular beats resulting from impulse transmition during periods of physiologic refractoriness and/or depressed conductivity. The supraventricular electrical impulse is conducted abnormally through the ventricular conducting system. This results in a wide QRS complex that may be confused wi...

Aberrant ventricular conduction was induced in 44 subjects by introduction of atrial premature beats through a transvenous catheter-electrode. Multiple patterns of aberrant ventricular conduction were obtained in 32 patients and, in the whole group, 116 different configurations were recorded. Of these, 104 showed a classical pattern of mono- or biventricular conduction disturbance. The pattern ...

T he occurrence of a premature beat between two consecutive conducted sinus beats is termed an interpolated premature systole or extrasystole.1 An interpolated premature ventricular systole can effect the conduction of the subsequent sinus beat by concealed retrograde penetration into the His-Purkinje system or AV node or both. This retrograde concealed penetration can result in a prolongation ...

SUMMARY Aberrant ventricular conduction (AbC) was produced in 17 of 18 subjects, including six normal persons, by the introduction of electric stimuli via a transvenous catheter situated in the right atrium. Analysis of electrophysiological determinants indicated that AbC was favored by a long cycle preceding the short cycle which terminated in the aberrant complex, a short R to stimulus coupli...
