Challenges single AV pathway model for synchrony; leaves open accessory connections' role in human arrhythmias.

The study aims to investigate the muscular connections between the auricle and ventricle beyond the A.V. bundle.
Identified multiple muscular connections at the auriculo-ventricular junction in the mammalian heart.
Described a unique connection named the 'right lateral' connection.
Found that the muscular connection is not limited to the A.V. bundle but includes other connections.
Highlighted the importance of these connections for the coordinated action of heart chambers.

A. F. Stanley Kent (1913) studied this question.
