Abstract
Electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency ablation therapy were performed in a 28-year-old male patient with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and electrocardiographic manifestation of concertina phenomenon. His bundle recordings showed a sinus cycle length of 720 = ms with a cyclic variation of QRS morphologies of every 3 beats and an antidromic atrial echo following the last fully preexcited QRS complex. After successful radiofrequency ablation of a left posterior accessory pathway, spontaneous 3:2 atrioventricular nodal Wenckebach periodicity was noted and the mechanism of the concertina phenomenon was unraveled.
