Atrial reciprocal rhythm following DC conversion of atrial flutter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
T RADITIONALLY, reciprocal rhythms have been classified as atrial and ventricular on the basis of the site to which the impulse returns.1) While the ventricular reciprocal rhythm is not uncommon, the atrial rhythm is exceedingly rare, clinically.2) We experienced an example of atrial reciprocal rhythm following electrical conversion for atrial flutter. To our knowledge, no case of atrial reciprocal rhythm after DC conversion has been reported so far.

Successful intracardiac electrical conversion of atrial flutter in patients with complex congenital heart disease.
Sixteen patients presenting on 21 occasions with atrial flutter in association with complex congenital heart disease were treated by intracardiac stimulation techniques combined with activation mapping. Nineteen episodes of atrial flutter were successfully converted to sinus rhythm. In the remaining two episodes atrial fibrillation was induced with spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm within ...
متن کاملThe Improvement of the Atrial Flutter Rhythm upon the Removal of the Infected Permanent Pacemaker Lead
Pacemaker infection has multiple risk factors. Its presentation is most often similar to infected endocarditis and the diagnosis is made through studying blood cultures. Transesophageal echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis. The most common microorganisms are staphylococcus speciesis. As a matter of fact, complete pacemaker removal appears to be the only definite treatment. We presented a ...
متن کاملMonophasic action potential of right human atrium during atrial flutter and after conversion to sinus rhythm. Argument for re-entry theory.
In I2 patients right atrial monophasic action potential recordings were obtained during atrial flutter and after conversion to sinus rhythm. Monophasic action potential duration is a valuable index of refractoriness of the atrial muscle; it ranges from 136 to 155 msec for the flutter waves and from 290 to 390 msec for the regular sinus complexes. If the duration of the monophasic action potenti...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملFacilitating influence of procainamide on conversion of atrial flutter by rapid atrial pacing.
In a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebocontrolled study we investigated the facilitating influence of intravenous procainamide on conversion of atrial flutter by rapid atrial pacing. Fifty consecutive patients with spontaneous sustained atrial flutter were 1:1 randomized into two homogenous groups: group A received 10 mg.kg-1 procainamide intravenously, group B placebo. After infusi...
