Multiple lesions of the conduction system in a case of cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma with complex arrhythmias. An anatomic and clinical study.
Anatomic and electrocardiographic correlations in a case of primary cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma are examined. Interatrial and atrioventricular conduction disturbances were associated with multiple lesions involving the alleged internodal pathways, together with atrial-atrioventricular nodal connections. The clinicopathologic findings seem to be consistent with the hypotheses of the functional and morphologic value of Bachmann's fascicle, and of the inherent pathways of interatrial and internodal conduction in health and disease.
