Ventricular Wenckebach after intravenous therapy with class I antiarrhythmic agents.
Two unusual cases of Wenckebach-like conduction block in the infranodal tissues which developed after an intravenous dose of a Class I antiarrhythmic drug are presented. The first case shows infra-Hisian Wenckebach during sustained atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. The second case demonstrates rate-dependent Wenckebach-like exit block between the pacing catheter and the right ventricular tissues during pacing.
