Panels A–E Schmitt and Erlanger’s5 concept of reentry sees an impulse propagating through the conducting system, with antegrade conduction blocked in one limb and then conducting retrogradely through to reactivate the proximal portion of the system. Panel F shows the antegrade activation that would be expected to occur if one could facilitate conduction through depressed regions.
