Bigeminy in ventricular interpolation.

نویسنده

چکیده

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 of the PR interval, with normal or aberrant intraventricular conduction of the first postextrasystolic sinus beat. The aberrant intraventricular conduction of the first postectopic sinus beat may mimic the occurrence of ventricular couplets (two premature yen-

The rule of bigeminy revisited: analysis in sudden cardiac death syndrome.

BACKGROUND The rule of bigeminy is commonly explained by a reentrant mechanism. We hypothesize that in patients with prolonged ventricular repolarization, the rule of bigeminy may be caused by premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) due to early afterdepolarizations. We evaluated these ventricular arrhythmias over extended periods in patients with sudden cardiac death syndrome. METHODS The ele...

Mechanisms of Intermittent Ventricular Bigeminy

In a previous report dealing with intermittent ventricular bigeminy due to ventricular premature systoles with fixed coupling in the presence of a grossly irregular dominant pacemaker, it was shown that the appearance and disappearance of the ectopic beats were dependent upon the length of the ventricular cycle ("rule of bigeminy"). In the present report, dealing with ventricular premature syst...

Electrocardiographic imaging of ventricular bigeminy in a human subject.

Ventricular bigeminy refers to the appearance of paired different ventricular complexes in the body-surface ECG (Figure, A inset, lead V2). From this ECG morphology, it has been inferred that bigeminy is generated by interaction between an extrasystolic beat and a regular periodic ventricular beat.1 The regular beat is typically generated by sinus rhythm but could also be a paced rhythm. The me...

Concealed ventricular extrasystoles due to interference and due to exit block.

Two cases of sinus rhythm with ventricular extrasystoles are reported in which extrasystoles arising from the same focus obey the rule of "comcealed bigeminy" and the "rule of bigeminy". In a comparatively rapid sinus rhythm, shortening of the sinus cycle favors the appearance of extrasystoles, and the extrasystoles obey the fule of "concealed bigeminy"; namely, sinus impulses intervene between...
