Recognition of the presence, location, and properties of unusual accessory pathways for atrioventricular conduction is an exciting, frequently difficult, challenge for the clinical cardiac arrhythmologist. In this second part of our series of reviews relative to this topic, we discuss the steps required to achieve the correct diagnosis and appropriate management in patients with the so-called "Mahaim" variants of pre-excitation. We indicate that, nowadays, it is recognized that these abnormal rhythms are manifest because of the presence of atriofascicular pathways. These anatomical substrates, however, need to be distinguished from the other long and short accessory pathways which produce decremental atrioventricular conduction. The atriofascicular pathways, along with the long decrementally conducting pathways, have their atrial components located within the vestibule of the tricuspid valve. The short decremental pathways, in contrast, can originate in the vestibules of either the mitral or tricuspid valves. As a starting point, careful analysis of the 12-lead electrocardiogram, taken during both sinus rhythm and tachycardias, should precede any investigation in the catheterization room. When assessing the patient in the electrophysiological laboratory, the use of programmed electrical stimulation from different intracardiac locations, combined with entrainment technique and activation mapping, should permit the establishment of the properties of the accessory pathways, and localization of its proximal and distal ends. This should provide the answer to the question "is the pathway incorporated into the circuit underlying the clinical tachycardia". That information is essential for decision-making with regard to need, and localization of the proper site, for catheter ablation.
The recognition of the presence, location, and properties of unusual accessory pathways for atrioventricular conduction is an exciting, but frequently a difficult, challenge for the clinical cardiac arrhythmologist. In this third part of our series of reviews, we discuss the different steps required to come to the correct diagnosis and management decision in patients with nodofascicular, nodoventricular, and fasciculo-ventricular pathways. We also discuss the concealed accessory atrioventricular pathways with the properties of decremental retrograde conduction that are associated with the so-called permanent form of junctional reciprocating tachycardia. Careful analysis of the 12-lead electrocardiogram during sinus rhythm and tachycardias should always precede the investigation in the catheterization room. When using programmed electrical stimulation of the heart from different intracardiac locations, combined with activation mapping, it should be possible to localize both the proximal and distal ends of the accessory connections. This, in turn, should then permit the determination of their electrophysiologic properties, providing the answer to the question "are they incorporated in a tachycardia circuit?". It is this information that is essential for decision-making with regard to the need for catheter ablation, and if necessary, its appropriate site.
Method: At screening visit 2 (SV2) and maintenance visit 4 (MV4) (92-135 days from SV2), patients completed the PDQ-39 (high score=poorer QoL) and MDS-UPDRS part II (motor experiences of daily living; high score=greater impairment); a clinician completed the MDS-UPDRS part III (motor impairment; high score=greater impairment). Mean PDQ-39 and MDS-UPDRS scores, and Pearson correlation coefficients were evaluated.
Results: A total of 108 patients completed both scales at SV2, of which 80 contributed data at MV4. The mean (SD) age of the population was 62.7 (8.95) years, majority were male (62.4%), and White (92.7%). Mean (SD) time since diagnosis of PD = 9.0 (4.0) years, and mean (SD) time since motor fluctuations started = 4.6 (3.8) years. Mean (SD) PDQ-39 total score was 26.4 (15.0) and 24.1 (14.3) at SV2 and MV4, respectively. Mean scores for the 8 PDQ-39 domains ranged from 8.0 (social support) to 42.0 (bodily discomfort). Mean (SD) MDS-UPDRS part III score was 43.3 (13.8) and 40.1 (13.9) at SV2 and MV4, respectively. MDS-UPDRS part III scores showed significant correlation with PDQ-39 total scores, the PDQ-39 ADLs domain, and MDS-UPDRS part II scores at SV2 (Table 1). The results were consistent at MV4 (Table 2).
Conclusion: MDS-UPDRS part III correlated well with PDQ-39 total. Further, part III correlated well with the concept of ADLs, as measured by PDQ-39 ADLs domain or MDS-UPDRS part II. These results suggest that motor function, as measured by MDS-UPDRS part III, is correlated with HRQoL and ADLs.
News and current affairs video magazine Newstrack captured the entire shootout live in 1991.[7] According to the former Additional Commissioner of Police A. A. Khan, the Anti-Terrorism Squad received a tip-off from a police informer that Dolas and his gang were hiding in the A wing, flats no. 002 and 003 in the Swati building at the Lokhandwala Complex, a posh upper middle class residential area. The informer reported that they were armed and were waiting for a few builders who would be coming in the evening. The apartment in which they were hiding belonged to Gopal Rajwani, a fugitive gangster from Ulhasnagar and associate of Ibrahim.[2] The ATS formed three teams for the task of arresting the fugitives and taking them into custody. One was for reconnaissance, while the other two cordoned off the spot.[2]
What happened next is subject to dispute and controversy. According to the official police version, Officer M. I. Qavi was the first to go there. Qavi spotted Gopal Rajwani at the main gate, but did not arrest him for fear of surprising the gangsters hidden inside the building. On the other hand, Rajwani did not recognise the police officers, who were in their plain clothes, and escaped without any incident. The ATS officers Sunil Deshmukh, Z. M. Gharal and Qavi along with a handful of police officers were the first to walk into the ground-floor apartment where seven of them were watching TV. When they burst into the apartment, six of the gangsters, including Dolas, raised their arms in surprise.[2]
Dilip Buwa, who was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle, opened fire on the officers. Officer Gharal, who was not wearing body armour, was shot in the chest twice, puncturing his lungs. Qavi was shot in the elbow.[2] Buwa's brazen attack was soon followed by the others. The ground-floor apartment had two doors, one opening into the compound and the other to the building's staircase. While the police officers came out from the front door, the gangsters escaped into the interiors using the stairs.[2]
The fugitive underworld don Chotta Rajan was also extremely vocal in criticising the police operation as a "fake encounter". According to Chotta Rajan, the encounter was planned by his former boss Dawood Ibrahim, when they were allies, as part of a campaign to downsize Rajan's gang and curtail his power. He further claimed that the ground level co-ordination for the operation was conducted by a Dawood Ibrahim subordinate, Samir Shah. He stated that Dolas had expressed his willingness to surrender, but the police insisted on eliminating him.[1]
While the Lokhandwala shootout made Khan famous, he later faced criticism about the way he handled the Bombay riots under his jurisdiction. The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena protested his alleged partisan attitude towards their workers in the riots. In 1995, when the BJP-Shiv Sena government came to power in Maharashtra, Khan's promotion to the rank of Additional Director General of Police was stalled and he was transferred to Nagpur.[3] Frustrated at this insignificant posting, Khan retired and set up a security agency in 1996, which his son now runs.[6] He also became a politician and joined the Janata Dal, with whom he stood elections in the Mumbai North-west constituency in 1998.[3]
