Overdrive Suppression of Antegrade Conduction over the Accessory Pathway

概要

In a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome whose accessory pathway was primarily capable of bidirectional conduction, antegrade conduction over the accessory pathway was transiently inhibited after rapid atrial or ventricular pacing or after spontaneous termination of atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia. Pacing rate and duration of tachycardia were related to the duration of the suppression of preexcitation, while the coupling interval of the first sinus beat to the last driven or tachycardia beat was irrelevant to the phenomenon. Thus, overdrive suppression of conduction may be the most likely mechanism of this phenomenon.
