A 17-year-old woman presented with frequent palpitations and shortness of breath and was diagnosed with drug-refractory ventricular parasystole. We predicted that the parasystole originated from the left anterior fascicle (LAF). Detailed activation maps of both conduction systems, including the LAF, during sinus rhythm and ventricular parasystole were obtained using a parallel mapping system. We confirmed the earliest fascicular potential of the parasystole and performed catheter ablation with no complications. This novel mapping algorithm for simultaneous acquisition of multiple maps aided effective treatment of ventricular parasystole originating from the LAF.

The fusion of narrow-QRS sinus-generated beats with end-diastolic ventricular extrasystoles occurring in bigeminy can produce an electrocardiographic pattern difficult to differentiate from parasystole. Such an ECG should not be interpreted as 2:1 RBBB because of the variability of the PR intervals.

Background: The clinical relevance and prognostic implications of ventricular parasystole are unknown.
Objectives: This study sought to assess the prevalence of ventricular parasystole in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and ventricular parasystole's association with ventricular arrhythmias and conduction system abnormalities.
Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent ICD interrogation at a single center between June 1, 2019, and August 31, 2020, and reviewed all available ICD and electrocardiogram data.

A narrow QRS complex is a hallmark of a normal beat, although this common assumption is questioned in the findings of the present case. This electrocardiographic challenge investigates the unique mechanism of a narrow QRS and the clinical importance of discovering this phenomenon. ().

Lorenz-RR scatter plot has an obvious shortcoming in that it does not indicate the time when the scatter point happens. On the Lorenz RR scatter plot, one cannot know the time during which the cardiac rhythms take place. Since occurrence of cardiac rhythms is time-related, time should be introduced to such plots.
