Abstract/OtherAbstract:
CONCLUSION: (1) His-Purkinje physiology, as in AV nodal physiology, can be described by a recovery curve that fits an exponential equation, especially if conduction becomes depressed with radiofrequency current. (2) Radiofrequency application in the low AV junction modifies His-Purkinje conduction more than refractoriness, though the refractoriness increase determines the degree of block at fast atrial rates. (3) Concealed conduction is uncommon in the normal His-Purkinje system during atrial pacing, but very frequent after modifying the low AV junction with radiofrequency current.
