title: Wenckebach phenomenon (W.P.) at sites other than A-V junctional area.
abstract: W.P. occurring at sites other than A-V junctional area are reported. Some of the cases are rather rare. His bundle electrography may be the best method in discovering the site of block, but the using of conventional ECG is also able to detect a correct diagnosis. Clinical significance are discussed, some are innocent, some are related to serious heart disease. Thorough examination is necessary before arriving at any conclusion.
