title: Electrophysiologic comparison between incessant and paroxysmal tachycardia in patients with permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia.
abstract: To clarify the differences between the incessant and paroxysmal types of the permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia, we performed electrophysiologic studies in 11 patients with long RP' tachycardia using a slowly conducting accessory pathway as the retrograde conduction, and concluded that the short AH intervals during sinus rhythm and tachycardia are very important factors in the development of incessant tachycardia.
