Effect of conduction mode and location on electrophysiologic characteristics of accessory pathways.
The conduction properties of accessory pathways (APs) are independent of location and conduction mode (except in patients with multiple, Mahaim, and slowly conducting APs). Patients with right-sided APs show higher rates of atrial fibrillation and longer arrhythmia cycle length due to slower anterograde conduction over the atrioventricular node during atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.
