Progressively decreasing ectopic to second sinus beat intervals in concealed trigeminy

J Electrocardiol. 1987 Jul;20(3):284-6. doi: 10.1016/s0022-0736(87)80028-6.

Abstract

A case of classical concealed trigeminy is reported in which the concealed ventricular extrasystoles occur due to a progressive shortening of the intervals in between manifest extrasystoles and their subsequent conducted second sinus beats. The specific mechanisms underlying such a remarkable phenomenon remain to be explained.
