[Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia with retrograde Wenckebach block and reciprocal beats (author's transl)]
Abstract
A case of recurrent paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia with retrograde Wenckebach block and reciprocal beats was studied with His bundle electrogram and right ventricular stimulation. Reentry was reproduced whenever retrograde ventriculo-atrial conduction time reached a critical value. Concealed reentry was also demonstrated and shown to be responsible for the dropped beats of the Wenckebach sequence.
