Intermittently “Pre-Excited” ECG after Accessory Pathway Ablation: Unsuccessful Procedure or a Complication?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 52-year-old woman with previously unsuccessful posteroseptal pathway ablation using radiofrequency energy presented with intermittently occurring short PR followed by a wide QRS complex, and complaining of palpitations with characteristics different from previous history. During a second electrophysiological procedure no signs of preexcitation were found. Ventricular discharges with fusion with sinus beats were revealed, and catheter ablation of premature contractions originating from the proximity to previous accessory pathway was carried out.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation in the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
Introduction: Tachyarrhythmias in Wolf Parkinson White (WPW) syndrome, can be a life threatening factor. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in this syndrome, has not been completely acceptable. Efficacy, safety and economy of Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) in western studies, has made it as the treatment of choice. In the present study, efficacy of RFCA in the ablation of accessory pathway...
متن کاملCardiac memory (t-wave memory) after ablation of posteroseptal accessory pathway.
BACKGROUND Cardiac memory is a phenomenon characterized by transient T-wave abnormalities occurring during normal sinus rhythm, after a period of altered ventricular depolarization, where the T-wave vector has the same direction as the vector of the previously altered QRS complex (T-wave inversion). It is a form of electrical remodelling of the ventricular, where the T-wave follows ("remembers"...
متن کاملA new ECG sign of an accessory pathway in sinus rhythm: pseudo partial right bundle branch block.
It is clinically important to be able to detect the presence of an accessory pathway, as pre-excited atrial fibrillation is a well recognised cause of sudden cardiac death, for which there is a potential "cure" in the form of radiofrequency ablation of the pathway. The classic manifestations such as a shortened PR interval or delta waves may not always be present. In certain patients a pseudo p...
متن کاملLocalization of Accessory Pathway in the Heart Using Body Surface Potentials
Results of noninvasive localization of arrhythmogenic tissue in the heart are presented. Location of the accessory pathway in preexcitations was estimated by inverse computations using body surface ecg potentials from limited number of leads, approximate geometry of the patient torso and multiple dipole model of cardiac electric generator. The method was first tested on simulated ecg data and i...
متن کاملAn unusual complication of adenosine administration in supraventricular tachycardia
45 years age female presented with acute onset palpitation. On examination she had tachycardia and a blood pressure of 116/70. ECG was suggestive of NCT (Fig. 1). On administration of 6 mg of intravenous adenosine she developed transient AV block followed by irregular wide complex tachycardia (Fig. 2) and systemic hypotension, requiring DC cardioversion. Electrocardiogram in sinus rhythm showed...
