title: Effect of conduction mode and location on electrophysiologic characteristics of accessory pathways.
abstract: 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.
