7. Figure 6
Conduction system in patients with double inlet to a solitary ventricle with isomerism of the right appendages. Dual atrioventricular nodes are present and are connected by uninterrupted slings of conduction tissue. The nodes are positioned inferiorly and left inferolaterally in the absence of a ventricular septum. A strand of conduction tissue branches from the sling and merges with the ventricular myocardium toward the apex. A third hypoplastic node is often discovered in a superolateral position, but in neither is there a connection with the main axis.

8. Figure 7
Conduction system in patients with double inlet left ventricle with isomerism of left atrial appendages. Both atriums connect to a dominant left ventricle, through two AVVs in this heart. There is a gross malalignment of the ventricular septum, which lies approximately from right to left, and away from its normal position. It carries the atrioventricular conduction axis. A normally positioned atrioventricular node would fail to make contact with the ventricular conduction tissue. The result is that the connecting atrioventricular node lies in a right, superolateral position. It meets with the nonbranching bundle and then the bundle branches, which are orientated apically and toward the left, although proximally always running to the right (acute marginal) side of the ventricular septal defect (double headed arrow).

The approximate positions of the sinus nodes are shown in red in the (A) normal heart, (B) the mirror image of the normal, (C) in green, example of the grossly abnormal and unpredictable locations in isomerism of the left atrial appendages and (D) in red, isomerism of the right appendages.
