Ashman phenomenon


Ash·man phe·nom·e·non

(ash'măn), aberrant ventricular conduction of a beat ending a short cycle that is preceded by a longer cycle most commonly during atrial fibrillation.

Ashman phenomenon

An EKG finding in patients with atrial fibrillation and aberrant beats due to shortened refractory periods. Unlike premature ventricular contactions (PVCs), which the AP mimics, specific management is unnecessary.
