Abstract

Modulation of ventricular parasystole by sinus beats has been shown both in vitro and in vivo to result in a classic biphasic phase-response curve. The first clinical presentation of 3 cases of supernormal modulation of ventricular parasystole resulting in a triphasic phase response curve is reported. Supernormal modulation reflects an unexpected early enhancement expedition of the ectopic ventricular impulses. An alternative explanation for the triphasic phase-response curve is the discharge and resetting of the parasystolic focus by critically timed sinus impulses.
