Pneumonia and atrial flutter in a 71- year-old-man.

Konik E, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-220691 Description A 71-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension and 80 pack-years of tobacco smoking was presented with dyspnoea and coughof 3-week duration. He was tachycardic, with heart rate 127 beats per minute. ECG revealed atrial flutter. Chest x-ray showed right upper lobe consolidation consistent with pneumonia. Transes...

A Case Report of Neonatal Atrial Flutter with Poor Feeding and Tachypnea

Background: Arrhythmias in neonates are not common and usually affect newborns with a normal heart or those that suffer from structural heart disease. A malignant type of arrhythmias is supraventricular tachycardia. Meanwhile, one uncommon type of supraventricular arrhythmias is atrial flutter (AFL), which is founded upon reentry mechanisms in the atrium. The AFL may result in heart failure or ...

Idiopathic atrial flutter, high grade atrioventricular block and sino-atrial dysrhythmia in a young man. Effects of exercise testing.

A 25-year-old man with idopathic atrial flutter and high grade atrioventricular (AV) block is described. Postcardioversion, sino-atrial (SA) and AV nodal dysrhythmias occurred. Treadmill exercise during atrial flutter increased AV conduction to 2:1, and normalized SA and AV nodal function following cardioversion. A neurogenic basis for these arrhythmias is hypothesized.
