title: [Topographic diagnosis of Kent's bundles using dynamic vectorcardiography. Correlation with the new electrocardiographic criteria proposed by R. Franck].
abstract: The topographic diagnoses of Kent's bundles obtained from vectorcardiograms with maximum preexcitation in 33 patients (dynamic VCH) were compared with those obtained using Franck's new algorithm. Only three cases disagreed, and the three anteroseptal topographies were identified a posteriori. This simple method therefore shows very satisfactory sensitivity (82%) and provides worthwhile orientation for later investigations.
