Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Triggered By A Monomorphic Ventricular Couplet In A Patient With Acute Coronary Syndrome
Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction, however its pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully understood. We describe the unusual case of a 76-year old woman admitted for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, who developed multiple episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation triggered by monomorphic ventricular couplets. Beta...
متن کاملPulmonary vein thrombi in a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is a serious clinical problem, which is associated with systemic thrombosis such as cerebral infarction. Pulmonary vein myocardiumpromotes andmaintains atrial fibrillation. Catheter ablation is done to cure atrial fibrillation to cut down the current flow from pulmonary vein myocardium. Although pulmonary vein thrombi (PVT) are thought to be a rare complication of certain tu...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation in Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia occurring in an estimated 2.7 to 6.1 million people in the United States. The risk factors for the development of AF are very similar to those for developing coronary artery disease, and AF is often associated with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and acute myocardial infarction (MI). Overall, AF complicates approximately 10% of acute infarct...
متن کاملPulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a patient with stand-alone unroofed coronary sinus
Introduction Atrial arrhythmia is common in patients with an atrial septal defect (ASD). Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the main cause of morbidity in older patients with ASD. An unroofed coronary sinus (CS) is rare (in,1% of all types of ASD) and is often associated with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and other forms of complex congenital heart disease and heterotaxy syndromes. Unroof...
متن کاملAcute embolic myocardial infarction in a patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation receiving direct-current cardioversion.
Coronary embolism with acute myocardial infarction (MI) following direct-current (DC) cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) has rarely been reported. We present the case of a 34-year-old female with severe aortic regurgitation and highly symptomatic paroxysmal AF. Acute embolic MI occurred 4 days after DC cardioversion of AF, although there was no left atrial thrombus detected before this p...
