Résumé : During complete heart block, the auricular and ventricular rhythms may in some cases remain synchronized in a 2:1 ratio during very long periods. After exercise, the synchronization disappears, but a close association of a P wave and an R wave (phénomène d'accrochage) may occur. These facts must be attributed to neighborhood interreactions developing between ventricles and auricles, without any conduction pathway. They are similar to the synchronization which is observed when two frog hearts are placed in contact. We therefore conclude that the rhythms of auricles and ventricles are not necessarily independent during complete heart block. © 1947.
