Para-Hisian pacing, a useful method to differentiate conduction over an accessory pathway from conduction over the AV node, is assessed essentially by comparing the timing of local atrial electrograms between Hisbundle captured heats and Hisbundle noncaptured heats. We describe the case of a patient with a permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia, in whom an atrial double potential was recorded only during the tachycardia at the right posterior septum. During para-Hisian pacing, a morphologic change in the atrial electrogram at the posterior septum was also identified, as well as a change in the retrograde atrial sequence. Since the morphologic change of atrial electrograms during para-Hisian pacing cannot be demonstrated in a patient without an accessory pathway, this new finding could he considered a new additional diagnostic criterion suggesting the presence of an accessory pathway.
