Abstract

The delivery of single His-refractory ventricular extra-stimulus during supraventricular tachycardia is useful to identify the mechanism of the tachycardia. We present the different responses based on the ventricular extra-stimulus site. Our findings demonstrate that the atrial activation via an accessory pathway was not advanced based on the ventricular pacing site. Therefore, atrioventricular tachycardia could masquerade as atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
