Preexcitation masking underlying aberrant conduction: an atriofascicular accessory pathway functioning as an ectopic right bundle branch

Abstract

Preexcitation and aberrant conduction both cause a broad QRS complex. An unusual case of an atriofascicular accessory pathway effectively functioning as an ectopic right bundle branch and responsible for both physiologically normal ventricular activation and pathologic preexcited tachycardias as part of a split AV node-bundle branch system is presented.
