Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An accessory pathway is a muscular connection between the atria and the ventricles that bypasses the AV node, allowing for an alternate route for electrical impulses to travel. This can result in abnormal heart rhythms, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Universal and Thorel's pathways are not commonly used medical terms. Conductive pathways are normal routes for electrical impulses to travel through the heart.
