Allodromia
Definition
A rare disorder or structural anomaly in the conduction of the heart's electrical impulses, characterized by the propagation of the stimulus through accessory pathways or in an atypical direction, different from the normal physiological pathway (sinus node, atrioventricular node, and bundle of His). This phenomenon can lead to severe arrhythmias or pre-excitation syndromes.
