aberrant ventricular conduction (AVC),
the temporary abnormal intraventricular conduction of a supraventricular impulse. It is usually associated with an increase in the duration of the QRS complex to more than 120 msec. This conduction pattern is fairly common after a very premature atrial beat and during the paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia that is caused by antidromic circus movement tachycardia, also known as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (using the atrioventricular node retrogradely and an accessory pathway antegradely). Also called aberrancy, aberrant conduction, ventricular aberration. AVC trademark for preparations of sulfanilamide, an antimicrobial. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
