1. Torsade de poins, an atypical Our results suggest that "torsade de pointes" tachycardias are based on focal impulse formation and on the interference of two separated foci with two different rates. If these foci are located in the right and in the left ventricle, the electrocardiogram shows either left bundle-branch block or right bundlebranch block. If both foci are active the resulting elecventricular tachycardia;Krikler, D.M.; Curry, P.V.L.;Br Heart J,1976

If the impulse spreads from the left ventricle over the heart and the second focus in the right ventricle accelerates increasingly, the electrocardiogram gradually changes from the right bundle-branch block pattern to the left bundlebranch block pattern: "torsade de pointes" occurs. Others favour the idea of a re-entry mechanism causing "torsade de pointes";Curry, P.; Stubbs, W.; Fitchett, D.; Krikler, D.
