Popis: We present clinical, electrophysiologic and morphologic correlations of a patient with a permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia, who died from a lung tumor. At electrophysioiogic study, the tachycardia circuit was suspected to involve an atrio-Hisian accessory pathway antegradely and the AV node retrogradely; a ventriculo-atrial accessory pathway was excluded. Pathologic examination revealed a right-sided atrio-Hisian accessory pathway and an area of abnormal dispersion in the distal His bundle fibers. This case is consistently different from another previously reported case in which a concealed, serpiginous, septal atrioventricular accessory pathway was demonstrated by anatomic examination. Thus, different substrates seem to be responsible for the permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia.
