There are two different theories to explain the mechanism of concealed bigeminy: one is ‘2:1 concealed reentry’; the other is ‘irregular parasystole.’ Two exemplary cases of the even-number variant of concealed bigeminy are presented. In case 1 the mechanism can be explained by an irregular parasystole due to a modulated parasystole; however, findings during temporary sinus arrest caused by vagal stimulation indicate that this case is not governed by a parasystole, but by a 2:1 concealed reentry. In case 2, the mechanism can be explained by a 2:1 concealed reentry without parasystole; however, findings during temporary sinus arrest indicate that this case is governed by an irregular parasystole due to a type-I second-degree entrance block. Thus, in cases of concealed bigeminy without pure ectopic cycles, it does not seem easy to explain the mechanism of concealed bigeminy on the theory of a modulated parasystole.
