Right ventricular premature stimulation initiated paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia via a retrograde block in the His Purkinje system in 13 of 14 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.
Observational (n=14)
No
In patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, a retrograde block in the His Purkinje system is the most common mechanism for PSVT initiation during ventricular premature stimulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Retrograde HPS block commonly initiates PSVT by ventricular extrastimuli in WPW; leaves open relevance to modern ablation or risk stratification.
Akhtar et al. (1981) conducted an observational in Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (n=14). Right ventricular premature stimulation was evaluated on Initiation of paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) due to retrograde block in the His Purkinje system. Right ventricular premature stimulation initiated paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia via a retrograde block in the His Purkinje system in 13 of 14 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome.
