Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pacemaker circus movement tachycardia (PCMT) during DDD pacing is usually sustained by retrograde natural and antegrade electronic atrioventricular (AV) conduction. As PCMT is often initiated by a ventricular premature beat (VPB) one method of its prevention is the programming of an atrial stimulus synchronously following a ventricular extrasystole. A patient is described with preserved antegrade, but without retrograde, i.e., VA, conduction. The optional pacemaker mode of synchronous atrial stimulation following a VPB caused an unusual PCMT sustained by retrograde electronic and antegrade natural AV conduction. This PCMT is similar to a natural reentry tachycardia, the most common variety of which (based on retrograde conduction) is termed antidromic and that which we describe is orthodromic. |
