title: Diagnosis of retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction by left atrial appendage Doppler flow analysis.
abstract: We report a case of pacemaker syndrome where the diagnosis of retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction was made by Doppler analysis of left atrial appendage flow. Doppler analysis of left atrial appendage flow provides another noninvasive parameter to diagnose retrograde ventriculoatrial conduction.
