Alternation of retrograde conduction times
Journal of Electrocardiology
|April 1, 1977
Summary
This study describes an idionodal escape rhythm where retrograde conduction times to the atria alternate between slow and fast. The underlying mechanisms of this cardiac electrophysiology phenomenon are explored.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Cardiac Electrophysiology
Background:
- Idionodal rhythm is a rare escape rhythm originating from the atrioventricular (AV) junction.
- Retrograde conduction describes the propagation of electrical impulses from the ventricles back to the atria.
