Two-to-one sinoatrial block. Normalization by carotid massage.

Abstract
In a clinical case of 2:1 sinoatrial block, carotid massage, paradoxically, released the sinoatrial block and doubled the manifest sinus rate. This resulted from a deceleration of the sinus discharge rate which allowed consecutive sinus impulses to traverse the sinoatrial junction.
