Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia

Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia

A ventricular impulse such as a ventricular ectopic conducts retrogradely through the atrioventricular node to the atrium: normally, the pacemaker ignores atrial signals for a set period after a ventricular signal (termed PVARP), but if the retrograde impulse arrives after this blanking period, it i...

Zusammenfassung:A ventricular impulse such as a ventricular ectopic conducts retrogradely through the atrioventricular node to the atrium: normally, the pacemaker ignores atrial signals for a set period after a ventricular signal (termed PVARP), but if the retrograde impulse arrives after this blanking period, it is interpreted as a legitimate p-wave.
