Les tachycardies réciproques décrivant un mouvement circulaire (réentrée) empruntant la voie descendante du faisceau de His pour remonter par la voie accessoire (tachycardie réciproque orthodromique, donc à complexes QRS fins), ou décrivant un mouvement inverse avec descente par la voie anormale et remontée par le faisceau de His (tachycardie réciproque antidromique, donc à complexes QRS larges); ces troubles du rythme ne représentent pas un risque vital mais sont surtout invalidants par leur répétition ou leur durée, leurs manifestations angineuses ou d'insuffisance cardiaque. 1, record 1, French, - tachycardie%20r%C3%A9ciproque
