Double irregular ventricular parasystole: rate-dependent entrance block and "supernormal" exit conduction
Circulation
|October 1, 1978
Summary
This study presents a rare case of double irregular ventricular parasystole, detailing how rate-dependent block and supernormal conduction cause irregularity in these cardiac events.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Cardiac Arrhythmias
Background:
- Ventricular parasystole is a rare cardiac arrhythmia.
- Double ventricular parasystole, with two distinct parasystolic pathways, is exceptionally uncommon.
- Understanding the mechanisms of irregularity in parasystoles is crucial for diagnosis.
