Abstract

Three cases of the new appearance of ectopic supraventricular rhythms during exercise electrocardiography are presented. Transient decrease in the rate of the sinoatrial node or transient increase in the rate of subsidiary pacemaker are responsible. Electrocardiographic criteria for diagnosing the site of origin of supraventricular ectopic foci are discussed. The diagnostic, and prognostic significance of such a finding is not known.
