Key result
In patients with left-sided accessory pathways, a significant inverse correlation exists between the accessory pathway effective refractory period and maximal decrement (r=0.42, p<0.05).

Minimal decremental conduction over left-sided accessory pathways is not uncommon and is inversely correlated with the accessory pathway effective refractory period, suggesting care should be taken during electrophysiological evaluation.

Nevertheless, we have found that an additional 27% of the left-sided AP in the anterograde direction, and 29% in the retrograde direction had minimal decremental conduction of less than 30 ms [12]. Therefore, our electrophysiological studies revealed that it is not uncommon to observe minimal decremental conduction over left-sided AP, and stress that care should be taken in the evaluation of conduction over these connections.

Osmar Antonio Centurión (2015) conducted an editorial in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (n=55). Electrophysiological evaluation was evaluated on Correlation between accessory pathway effective refractory period and maximal decrement (r=0.42, p=<0.05). In patients with left-sided accessory pathways, a significant inverse correlation exists between the accessory pathway effective refractory period and maximal decrement (r=0.42, p<0.05).
