The effect of phentolamine on conduction in the bundle of His.
A His bundle electrogram was obtained in a 65 year old male with syncopal episodes. A split bundle of His deflection was recorded. After the intravenous administration of phentolamine, a marked shortening of the H-H' interval was observed. This signifies an improvement in conduction at the bundle of His level.
