BACKGROUND Second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block is a frequently encountered conduction abnormality on surface electrocardiogram (ECG). However, it does not always imply a block at the AV nodal level. In rare cases, this block can occur below the bundle of His, within the infra-Hisian region of the His-Purkinje system.

Introduction: The slow atrioventricular nodal pathway (SP) typically has a single atrial breakthrough site.

Methods And Results: We report a case of fast-slow type AVNRT with two distinct atrial breakthrough sites during tachycardia. The earliest atrial activation site (EAAS) was at the right inferior septum, followed by the inferolateral wall of the tricuspid annulus.

The pacing maneuvers for supraventricular tachycardia with cycle length alternans are sometimes difficult, especially when diagnostic ventricular pacing does not conduct to the atrium. Even in such a situation, critical diagnostic findings can be obtained by spontaneous premature ventricular contraction.

Wenckebach-periodic VA prolongation and abrupt shortening of HH interval during tachycardia indicate (i) a retrograde block at the upper common pathway that manifested a retrograde atrial activation via the superior slow pathway, and (ii) an antegrade return of a retrograde atrial activation to His bundle via the fast pathway.
