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 کاملSinus node injury during adjunctive superior vena cava isolation in a patient with triggered atrial fibrillation
INTRODUCTION Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained heart arrhythmia. Premature beats arising from foci other than pulmonary veins have been related to its pathogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS A 64-year-old female underwent superior vena cava (SVC) isolation after triggers were identified originating from the SVC following pulmonary vein isolation; immediately after SVC isolation, she ...
متن کاملPro-arrhythmia in atrial fibrillation suppression pacing algorithms.
Atrial overdrive pacing algorithms have been partially effective in controlling atrial fibrillation (AF). A 76-year-old man with history of a cardiomyopathy and paroxysmal AF underwent implant of a dual-chamber ICD. After enabling preferential pacing (PP) algorithms, marked control of his AF was demonstrated, but with inappropriate ICD shocks secondary to a typical AV nodal re-entrant tachycard...
متن کاملSudden death due to atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a predictable event in a young patient.
This case refers to a 39-year-old woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and family history of sudden death (SD). In 1985, high rate atrial stimulation induced VF. In 1996 an ICD was implanted and she remained without arrhythmic events until November 2000 when the device reported one episode of atrial fibrillation degenerating into VF and terminated by the ICD. The VF induction mechanism ...
متن کاملThe Unexpected Pitter Patter: New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation in Pregnancy
Background. Atrial fibrillation is a relatively uncommon but dangerous complication of pregnancy. Emergency physicians must know how to treat both stable and unstable tachycardias in late pregnancy. In this case, a 40-year-old female with a cerclage due to incompetent cervix and previous preterm deliveries presents in new-onset atrial fibrillation. Case Report. A previously healthy 40-year-old ...
