Chronic Atrial Fibrillation Spontaneously Reverted After Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 75-year-old female with persistent long-lasting atrial fibrillation (AF) spontaneously reverted to sinus rhythm (SR). She had been suffering from mitral stenosis and secondary tricuspid insufficiency with AF since her 50’s. She underwent mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty 3 years previously. Spontaneous defibrillation improved cardiac status and remained in SR for 3 years. Possible mechanisms of this uncommon phenomenon are discussed. Cilostazol was suggested to play a role on this case.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of long term cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) on left atrial and left ventricular (LV) reverse remodelling and reversal to sinus rhythm (SR) in patients with heart failure with atrial fibrillation (AF). PATIENTS 74 consecutive patients (age 68 (8) years; 67 men) with advanced heart failure and AF (20 persistent and 54 permanent) were implanted with a CR...

In March 1975 she was readmitted with a similar tachycardia. Five minutes after receiving 500 mg propanidid she again reverted to sinus rhythm.

متن کاملAtrial fibrillation following electrical injury.
The development of atrial fibrillation in 2 patients, following an electrical shock is reported. One patient, with an underlying pre-excitation syndrome, had to be cardioverted due to rapid ventricular rate and hypotension. The other, with normal conduction, tolerated the arrhythmia well and atrial fibrillation reverted spontaneously after 24 hours.

Background and Objective: Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia, accompanied with some adverse complications, after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of psychological risk factors, as well as age and gender for the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Materials and Methods: In this r...
