Catheter Ablation of Long-Lasting Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm in a Patient with Mild Left Ventricular Dysfunction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 35-year-old woman with long-lasting accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) exhibited palpitation and dyspnea on exertion and mild left ventricular (LV) dysfunction during followup. Symptoms appeared 10 years after the AIVR was first noted, and she underwent catheter ablation for curative therapy of AIVR after 12 years. Radiofrequency ablation of the anteroseptal site of the LV at the earliest activation terminated rhythm. An echocardiogram, taken 1 month after discharge, subsequently revealed that the left ventricular wall motion had normalized. This is a rare case of long-lasting AIVR with mild LV dysfunction.

Idiopathic accelerated idioventricular rhythm or ventricular tachycardia originating from the right bundle branch: unusual type of ventricular arrhythmia.
BACKGROUND Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the right bundle branch (RBB) is rare and published clinical data on such arrhythmia are scarce. In this study, we will describe the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of a cohort of patients with this novel arrhythmia. METHODS AND RESULTS Eight patients (5 men; median age, 25...

Introduction Reperfusion arrhythmias are common findings in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction after reestablishment of the coronary artery flow. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm or complex ventricular ectopy are the most typical presentation. Patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) are known to be at high risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Duri...

A 33-year old female with a background of Eisenmenger syndrome secondary to multiple congenital muscular ventricular septal defects (VSD) was admitted with a recent history of frequent intermittent palpitations. It was noted that she had an independent accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR), with rates varying between 85-110bpm, which exhibited a repetitive grouped beating pattern. Although ...
متن کاملPercutaneous treatment of ventricular tachycardia, perimembranous ventricular septal defect and patent foramen ovale: a case report.
UN CO RR EC Perimembranous ventricular septal defect in adulthood can be complicated by episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia [1,2]. The treatment algorithm of both the arrhythmia and congenital cardiac defect can raise some issues, namely medical versus interventional therapies. We report the case of a 40 years old man, admitted for slow ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch ...
متن کاملElectrocardiographic Characteristics of Ventricular Arrhythmia Originating from the Left Coronary Cusp
Aortic cusps originating arrhythmias are rare; they have special electrocardiogram features that help to locate the site of origin. We report on a 20-year-old male patient without structural heart disease presenting with accelerated idioventricular rhythm; electrocardiogram analysis was typical of left coronary cusp origin.
