PART 2Specific ArrhythmiasCHAPTER 9Accessory pathwaysThe existence of multiple connections between the atrium and ventricle was first proposed by Kent Ebook Understanding intracardiac EGMs and ECGs: Part 2t in the late nineteenth century, although by the early twentieth century the AV node and His bundle had been identified as the pathway that electrically connected the atria to the ventricles.

This arrangement, along with the r Ebook Understanding intracardiac EGMs and ECGs: Part 2efractory properties of the AV node and I lis bundle, reduces the likelihood of "feedback" between atrial and ventricular depolarization.

Most commonly accessory pathways are composed of tissue histologically and electrophysiologically like atrial or ventricular tissue, with a rapid phase 0 upstroke and a plateau phase. Accessory pathways can usually conduct in both directions, Ebook Understanding intracardiac EGMs and ECGs: Part 2from atrium to ventricle and from ventricle to atrium.
