In 1941, Mahaim and Winston described the histology of anomalous connections that arise from the AV node and insert into the right ventricle.1 This was the first description of nodoventricular or so-called Mahaim accessory pathways. Accessory pathways with decremental conduction properties that connected the atrium to the right bundle branch (RBB) were subsequently mapped mainly at the lateral… View more

The term narrow QRS tachycardia indicates individuals with a QRS duration ≤120 ms, while wide QRS tachycardia refers to tachycardia with a QRS duration >120 ms.1 Narrow QRS complexes are due to rapid activation of the ventricles via the His–Purkinje system, suggesting that the origin of the arrhythmia is above or within the His bundle. However, early activation of the His bundle can also occur… View more

Right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP) results in dyssynchronous ventricular activation that can lead to impairment of ventricular function. Alternative myocardial pacing sites such as RV septal pacing (RVSP) and RV outflow tract pacing still rely on myocardial cell-to-cell conduction and have not been shown to prevent pacing-induced cardiomyopathy.1 Biventricular pacing (BVP) certainly improves… View more
