Two active junctional pacemakers manifested by atrioventricular dissociation and junctional captures
Chest
|September 1, 1977
Summary
This study presents a rare case of atrioventricular dissociation. A unique RP-dependent prolongation of ventricular cycles was observed, suggesting pacemaker resetting.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Cardiac Electrophysiology
Background:
- Atrioventricular dissociation is a condition where the atria and ventricles beat independently.
- Understanding the mechanisms of ventricular cycle prolongation is crucial for diagnosing and managing arrhythmias.
