The authors report a case of concealed ventricular hexageminy in which, with a few exceptions, extrasystoles were separated by sinus beats conforming to the formula 6n - 1. Whenever an exception to this formula occurs, the intervening beats are not all of sinus origin, but include also a ventricular extrasystole that is different from those occurring in hexageminal distribution. The pattern is explained by a parasystolic rhythm modulated by sinus impulses, assuming a 3:1 ratio between the parasystolic cycle and the sinus cycle. Such a ratio would have to be associated with a trigeminal or concealed trigeminal distribution. There is, however, a 2:1 ectopic-ventricular block, leading to a change of the ectopic distributional pattern from the expected concealed trigeminy to that of the concealed hesageminy.
