Introduction: Many Authors already described automatic activity arising from accessory pathways, but the underlying mechanism has not been clarified yet. They may be due to embryogenetic features of myocardium or may be related to specific excitability during radiofrequency ablation. Case: Our report shows that ventricular accelerated rhythm may transiently arise from the ventricular edge of a common myocardium made accessory pathway right after the ablation. No further action were required in our experience, since the phenomenon self extinguished in approximately hour. Conclusions: If this manifestation represents the effect of thermal injury or if it is a real intrinsic automaticity is not fully documented and may need further reporting and investigation.

Abstract
Introduction: Many Authors already described automatic activity arising from accessory pathways, but the underlying mechanism has not been clarified yet. They may be due to embryogenetic features of myocardium or may be related to specific excitability during radiofrequency ablation. Case: Our report shows that ventricular accelerated rhythm may transiently arise from the ventricular edge of a common myocardium made accessory pathway right after the ablation. No further action were required in our experience, since the phenomenon self extinguished in approximately hour. Conclusions: If this manifestation represents the effect of thermal injury or if it is a real intrinsic automaticity is not fully documented and may need further reporting and investigation.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
