A: Twelve-lead electrocardiogram during tachycardia with a left bundle branch block morphology with a cycle length of 292 ms. B: Twelve-lead electrocardiogram during sinus rhythm. No overt preexcitation was seen. C: Intracardiac electrograms during atriofascicular antidromic tachycardia over an accessory pathway inserting into the right bundle branch (RBB). The RBB electrogram preceded His bundle activation during tachycardia. Note that an extra atrial stimulation delivered during tachycardia at the timing of atrioventricular nodal refractoriness advanced preexcited ventricular, retrograde His, and atrial electrograms without affecting the retrograde activation sequence.

Activation maps during atriofascicular antidromic tachycardia over an atriofascicular fiber. Atriofascicular potentials are excluded from the annotation. Serial atriofascicular fiber potentials were recorded, extending from the right lateral tricuspid annulus to the apical anterolateral right ventricle adjacent to the earliest myocardial activation site (1–3). A dotted arrow shows the direction of the atriofascicular fiber conduction and the pink dot indicates the site of successful ablation. Fused atriofascicular fiber and distal right bundle branch (RBB) potentials were seen at multiple sites in a surrounding area over 1 cm2 wide adjacent to the earliest ventricular activation site, demonstrating an arborized connection between atriofascicular fibers and the distal RBB (A–C). A = atrial potential; AF = atriofascicular potential; CS = coronary sinus; V = ventricular myocardial potential.
