ABSTRACT
An accessory pathway (AP) can be apparent during sinus rhythm if it depolarizes part of the ventricles ahead of the normal wave front from the conduction system. An AP can generate an anatomic circuit able to sustain a macroreentrant atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia. This arrhythmia can engage the normal conducting system in an antegrade direction or retrogradely, generating, respectively, a narrow or a wide complex tachycardia. The combined use of a standard electrocardiogram and an esophageal recording-pacing can be particularly useful in the first approach to patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, further stratifying patients requiring electrophysiology study and transcatheter ablation.
