Persistent Atrial Fibrillation And Atrial Flutter Complicated By Tachycardiomyopathy Because Of Intermittent Conduction Through Accessory Pathway.
The term tachycardiomyopathy refers to a specific form of tachycardia-related cardiomyopathy caused by supraventricular or ventricular tachyarrhytmias that are both associated with ventricular rates higher than 120 bpm. The arrhythmias which are most frequently associated with these forms of heart disease are atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, particularly found in the elderly population. ...
متن کاملMyotonic Dystrophy Initially Presenting as Tachycardiomyopathy Successful Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter
Myotonic dystrophy is a genetic muscular disease that is frequently associated with cardiac arrhythmias. Bradyarrhythmias, such as sinus bradycardia and atrioventricular block, are more common than tachyarrhythmias. Rarely, previously undiagnosed patients with myotonic dystrophy initially present with a tachyarrhythmia. We describe the case of a 14-year-old boy, who was admitted to the hospital...
متن کاملAtrial flutter.
was attempted in eight patients with drug refractory type I atrial flutter. In seven of eight patients, a zone of prolongation and fragmentation of the endocardial electrogram was found in the low posterior part of the right atrium. Entrainment of the atrial flutter by high right atrial pacing was accompanied by local recording of second-degree regional block in several atrial sectors but never...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Atrial Septal Defect with and without Operative Closure: Prevalence and Predisposing Conditions
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and predisposing conditions for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) and to evaluate the influence of age at surgical repair. The study population consisted of 35 patients with ASD (mean age 39.5 + 19 years). All patients had > 1 follow-up visit and a Doppler echocardiographic study. Twenty four of the patient...
متن کاملDual echocardiographic determination of atrial contraction sequence in atrial flutter and other related atrial arrhythmias.
We have applied the new technique of dual echocardiography to determine the sequence of atrial contraction as reflected in the simultaneously recorded movements of the tricuspid and mitral valves. The study group included 29 normal subjects and 23 patients with either atrial flutter, coarse atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia with block. In normal individuals, right atrial contraction pre...
