An unusual mechanism of arrhythmia production.
An unusual electrocardiogram (ECG) is presented which demonstrates two mechanisms of communication between the atria and the ventricles. The first appears to reflect ordinary atrio-ventricular impulse propagation. The second appears likely to represent stimulation of the ventricles by mechanical atrial systole.
