Retrograde ventriculoatrial jump-What is the mechanism?

During ventricular extra stimuli(VES) protocol a VA jump was noted. In upper panel with VES @ 500/270 ms (Fig A) the His signal appeared after the A-EGM, ruling out pure nodal VA conduction and confirming presence of an accessory pathway (AP). The H signal was delayed due to probable retrograde RBBB. The atrium was already depolarised via AP and the VA traversing via left bundle-His-node got blocked with a H signal. In the lower panel with VES of 500/260 ms the retrograde AP conduction reached the effective refractory period and pure nodal VA conduction took place along with retrograde RBBB. The retrograde VA jump was hence due to a jump from AP to AV node.
