SIMULTANEOUS IMPLANTATION OF MAHEIM TRACT INTO THE CONDUCTIVE SYSTEM AND CONTRACTILE MYOCARDIUM
Abstract
The results of endocardial electrophysiological study of a 8-year-old female patient with simultaneous distal penetration of Maheim tract into the cardiac conductive system and contractile myocardium are given; the mechanisms of induced orthodromic and antidromic supra-ventricular tachycardias are analyzed.
