The effects of phentolamine, 0.3 mg/mm given intravetient and it had no effect on the HQ or HS intervals. This nopsly for 15 minutes, on atrioventricular and intravenrepresents ao improvement in conduction through the tricular conduction were studied in seven cardiac patients atrioventricular node. Phentolamine had no effect on aod in four normal subjects. Recordings were made at atrioventricul...

Epicardial excitation was explored by means of an exploring electrode during operation on a patient with a large atrial septal defect of the secundum type, whose ECG indicated a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome of type B. Very early excitation occurred, 10 msec after the end of the P wave, at the right lateral border, near the atrioventricular sulcus, an area which is located a relatively large d...

BACKGROUND Clinical benefits from His bundle pacing (HBP) in heart failure patients with preserved and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction are still inconclusive. This study evaluated clinical outcomes of permanent HBP in atrial fibrillation patients with narrow QRS who underwent atrioventricular node ablation for heart failure symptoms despite rate control by medication. METHODS AND R...

Complete atrioventricular block, second-degree Mobitz type II and first-degree atrioventricular block with right bundle branch block were observed consecutively following successful radiofrequency ablation in close proximity to the sinus node. This resulted in the modification and disappearance of the inappropriate sinus tachycardia that had previously been present. Neither tachycardia nor cond...

OBJECTIVES The main objective of this study was to characterize the phenomenon of variation in the P-QRS relation during atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia. BACKGROUND Variation of P-QRS relation during tachycardia has been observed occasionally in atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia. However, the incidence, the characteristics and the mechanisms of this phenomenon have not been ...

BACKGROUND Recent anatomical and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that in the human atrioventricular node there are two main extensions, the rightward and leftward posterior nodal extension (LPNE). The occurrence of eccentric retrograde atrial activation has been demonstrated in several previous reports to be from 6 to 8% in patients with AVNRT. OBJECTIVES The study was performe...

introduction: the aim of the present study was to determine direct effects of no modulation on protective electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular node (av node) in the experimental model of af in rabbit. methods: isolated perfused rabbit av nodal preparations were used in two groups. in the first group (n=7), lname (50μm) was applied. in the second group (n=12), different concentrat...
