Abstract
We describe a case of 2:1 intermittent preexcitation after adenosine admini stration in a patient with an accessory pathway that did not show preexcita tion on the basal ECG. We review the mechanisms involved that explain this event and the possible utility of adenosine to show accessory pathways that do not show preexcitation on the ECG.
