reciprocating rhythm

reciprocating rhythm
a cardiac dysrhythmia in which an impulse initiated in the atrioventricular node travels both up toward the atria and down toward the ventricles, followed by cycles of bidirectional propagation of the impulse that alternately initiate from the impulses traveling up toward the atria and those traveling down toward the ventricles.
