Key result
Multiple atrioventricular connections exist across mammalian hearts, challenging the AV bundle as the sole pathway.
Why the study?
The impression that only a single auriculo-ventricular conducting path exists has been challenged by accumulating facts suggesting multiple auriculoventricular connections.

Additional auriculo-ventricular muscular connections merit attention in conduction studies; leaves open their functional role in health and disease.
A. F. Stanley Kent (1914) conducted a review in Cardiac anatomy. Evidence suggests the existence of multiple auriculoventricular connections in the mammalian heart, challenging the belief that the auriculo-ventricular bundle is the sole conducting path.
