We examined entrainment by ventricular pacing in six patients during orthodromic atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) utilizing a left-sided lateral accessory pathway. Constant fusion and progressive fusion were demonstrated in all patients by left ventricular pacing during tachycardia, but in none of the patients by right ventricular pacing. When left ventricular pacing was performed during AVRT, the antidromic wave front from the pacing impulse (n) collided with the orthodromic wave front of the previous pacing beat (n - 1) within the ventricle, therefore, constant fusion and progressive fusion were demonstrated in the surface electrocardiographic QRS complexes. On the other hand, when right ventricular pacing was performed during orthodromic AVRT, the antidromic wave front from the pacing impulse (n) collided with the orthodromic wave front of the previous paced beat (n - 1) within the normal atrioventricular pathway, and constant fusion and progressive fusion were therefore not demonstrated. These phenomena were explained by the relationship of the ventricular pacing site and the reentrant circuit. This study demonstrates the importance of the pacing site in manifest entrainment of orthodromic AVRT during ventricular pacing. |
