Abstract

A 47 year old patient underwent endocavitary electrophysiological investigation for recurrent syncopal episodes occuring three years after an inaugural enterior myocardial infarction. Syncopal ventricular tachycardia was induced during the investigation when the bipolar catheter was in contact with the Bundle of His and several external electric shocks were required for its reduction. During cardioversion a complete intra-hisian atrio venticular block was observed and remained permanently although the values of the conduction intervals had previously been normal. This complication of defibrillation is thought to be the result of an induction phenomenon.
