Evaluation of Conduction system
• Analyzing the HIS electrogram, the conduction
properties of AV conduction system can be deduced.
– AH interval- conduction time through the AV node (50-120 msec).
– HV interval- conduction time through the His-Purkinje system (35-55 msec).
– Basic cycle length A to A wave from HRA catheter (as close to SA Node).
– PR, QRS, from surface ECG
– Intra-atrial conduction interval - beginning of P wave to A spike on His electrogram.
• Retrograde conduction (V to A).
• Stimulus - QRS

AVNRT
(AV Nodal Re-entry Tachycardia) • Dual AV Nodal Physiology
- Differential diagnosis by jump in AH interval of >50ms for a decrement of 10ms in S2
• Circuit does not involve V
• Fast pathway “blocks” refractory, therefore conduction via slow pathway
• Premature Atrial beat or other tachycardia usually initiates
• Usually slow anterograde, fast retrograde (anticlockwise)

His Synchronous pacing • His Synchronous pacing – Pace from the
RV during sustained tachycardia at a rate
slightly higher that TCL. Measure atrial CL
did you advance the A? If so there is
evidence of a pathway, as the AV node
couldn't conduct as it would be refractory.
• Failure to advance the A does not rule out
a pathway ,as you may just be pacing too
far form the pathway to capture it.

Differential Diagnostic manoeuvres
• Para Hisian pacing –
• Right sided and septal pathways
1. Pace at the base of the RV just below the his on the septum –should result in a narrow QRS
2. Reduce the pacing output until you see LBBB, now you are only capturing the RBB. Does VA conduction time extend?
3. Keep reducing output until you only achieve local capture and loose NB capture. Is there still VA conduction?
4. NB: note changes in HIS D and P and HRA timing
