Abstract :
Three cases are reported, in whom MCG mapping, performed during sustained reentry tachycardias, was successful in localizing respectively the atrial insertion of a right-sided Kent bundle (case n° 1), the ventricular insertion of a nodo-ventricular (Mahaim) accessory pathway (case n° 2) and reentry within the atrio ventricular node (case n° 3).
