Parasystolic pacemakers have been described to originate in the atrium, atrioventricular node, His bundle, and in the ventricle.<\/p>\n<p>Fascicular parasystole and recurrent syncope has been reported by Steinfurt and colleagues [1]. That patient had recurrent presumably arrhythmic syncope due to parasystole originating from the left posterior fascicle. Patient underwent catheter ablation of the focus after exclusion of other causes and became asymptomatic. Although parasystole has a generally benign prognosis, the parasystolic beat can rarely induce ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.<\/p>\n<p>Even though fixed coupling intervals usually exclude parasystole, it can occur if the sinus rhythm is fixed to the parasystolic rhythm by retrograde P waves which reset the sinus node [2]. This can occur for short periods when parasystolic impulses will appear to be coupled to sinus impulses.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Johannes Steinfurt, Stefan Asbach, Katja E Odening, Thomas S Faber, Brigitte Stiller, Christoph Bode, J\u00fcrgen Biermann. <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ehjcr\/article\/2\/1\/yty020\/4921235\">Fascicular parasystole and recurrent syncope \u2013 a case report<\/a>.
