His electrogram alternans reveal dual atrioventricular nodal pathway conduction during atrial fibrillation: the role of slow-pathway modification.
BACKGROUND Traditional tools to study dual-pathway atrioventricular nodal (AVN) electrophysiology are not applicable in subjects with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF). The presence of fast-pathway (FP) and slow-pathway (SP) wavefronts and their possible modification remain uncertain in this condition. We demonstrated previously that His electrogram (HE) alternans can determine whether the FP ...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation following physostigmine.
The side effects of physostigmine, a tertiary amine anticholinesterase agent commonly used to treat postanaesthetic depression caused by a large number of drugs, are thought to be fairly mild. A case is reported in which atrial fibrillation followed a total dose of 2 mg of this drug to a patient who was slow in recovering from a general anaesthetic. The arrhythmia was self-limiting and required...
متن کاملAtrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in patients referred for atrial fibrillation ablation: response to ablation that incorporates slow-pathway modification.
BACKGROUND Although the most common sites of atrial ectopy that trigger atrial fibrillation (AF) are in or around the pulmonary veins (PVs), atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) can also cause or coexist with AF. We sought to characterize patients with AF and AVNRT and assess clinical outcomes after ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS To determine the prevalence of concomitant AVNRT...
متن کاملAtrial Tachycardias Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
One of the most important proarrhythmic complications after left atrial (LA) ablation is regular atrial tachycardia (AT) or flutter. Those tachycardias that occur after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can cause even more severe symptoms than those from the original arrhythmia prior to the index ablation procedure since they are often incessant and associated with rapid ventricular response. D...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation cardioversion following acupuncture
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and it is an independent risk for serious events. Acupuncture has been growing in popularity in the West, and there are reports of its benefits in treating AF. We report a 57-year-old man who was admitted after having an allergic reaction to amiodarone administered to treat paroxysmal AF with fast ventricular response. Cardioversion with in...
