Prolonged atrial fibrillation following generalized tonic–clonic seizures
We describe two male patients with focal epilepsy in whom transitory episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) lasting for up to 25h were detected in the context of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCSs). In five of seven previously published cases of transitory AF associated with epileptic seizures, AF was also associated with GTCS, suggesting a pathophysiological link via GTCS-related increase ...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation associated with epileptic seizures.
BACKGROUND Epileptic seizures are often associated with changes in cardiac autonomic function. Yet atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter (AFlu) following epileptic seizures has only rarely been reported in the past. OBJECTIVES To describe and characterize patients who experienced lone AFib or AFlu as a consequence of epileptic seizures. DESIGN Case reports. SETTING University teach...
متن کاملDelayed post-ictal event-related potentials do not differentiate between generalized tonic-clonic seizures and syncope
BACKGROUND The differentiation between generalized tonic-clonic seizure (GTCS) and syncope is an important clinical problem. Corroborative investigations, which are requested when history is unclear or insufficient, have limited diagnostic value. The aim of our study was to determine whether auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) can be utilized in post-event differentiation between GTCS and ...
متن کاملPost-Ictal Transient Atrial Fibrillation As A Rare Manifestation Of Grand Mal Seizure.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) most frequently occurs as a consequence of multiple etiologies including valvular disease, coronary artery disease, hyperthyroidism, alcohol ingestion, and pulmonary embolism. However, on rare occasion transient AF may be a result of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS). A 33-year-old-man presented to the emergency department following GTCS in AF with rapid ventricu...
متن کاملRecurrent Post-Ablation Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Shares Substrates With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation : An 11-Center Study.
INTRODUCTION The role of atrial fibrillation (AF) substrates is unclear in patients with paroxysmal AF (PAF) that recurs after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We hypothesized that patients with recurrent post-ablation (redo) PAF despite PVI have electrical substrates marked by rotors and focal sources, and structural substrates that resemble persistent AF more than patients with (de novo) PAF a...
