Diagnosis of retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction by left atrial appendage Doppler flow analysis

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 1996 Aug;19(8):1257-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.1996.tb04197.x.

Abstract

We report a case of pacemaker syndrome where the diagnosis of retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction was made by Doppler analysis of left atrial appendage flow. Doppler analysis of left atrial appendage flow provides another noninvasive parameter to diagnose retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction.
