Abstract

Complete disappearance of ventricular parasystolic beats by cardiac pacing with the rates of near multiples of the parasystolic rate was observed in 2 patients with ventricular parasystole. This finding represents a clinical counterpart of recently demonstrated experimental and mathematical models of electrotonic modulation of the parasystolic discharge.
