Concealed conduction is a common electrocardiographic phenomenon whereby a series of events may occur as a result of incomplete propagation of an impulse. The occurrence, maintenance, and resolution (termination) of several events such as functional block and cardiac arrhythmias are linked to concealed conduction. This phenomenon should be suspected on the surface electrocardiogram whenever an arrhythmic event occurs unexpectedly. Several electrophysiological concepts such as transseptal conduction and linking phenomenon are close allies of concealed conduction. His‐bundle electrocardiography and comprehensive electrophysiology may be needed to verify this phenomenon.
