Persistent Isolated Right Atrial Standstill Associated With Left Atrial Tachycardia
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Atrial standstill is a rare condition, characterized by absence of atrial electrical and mechanical activity evident in surface electrocardiography echocardiography, or fluoroscopy, which is associated with unresponsiveness of atria to maximal output electrical stimulation. This condition can be present with thromboembolic complication, low cardiac output, and sometimes palpitation. CASE PRESENTATION Here we presented a woman with right atrial stand still and left atrial tachycardia. It was confirmed by electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and intracardiac electrogram in basal state and during maximal output electrical stimulation. We treated her by implanting pacemaker to control bradycardia, oral calcium channel blocker to control palpitation episodes, and anticoagulation. CONCLUSIONS Atrial standstill can be present partially that can be localized in one atrium and is associated with tachycardia in the other atrium.

Persistence of a left-sided superior vena cava (PLSVC) with absent right superior vena cava (isolated PLSVC) is a very rare venous malformation and commonly associated with congenital heart disease or alterations of the cardiac situs. We describe an unusual case of a young boy presenting with persistent atrial tachycardia and congestive heart failure. He was detected to have unexplained grossly...

Three of nine siblings were affected by atrial standstill. Clinical, electrophysiological, and histological findings in two of these cases were studied. Electrophysiological studies showed persistent atrial standstill in one and partial atrial standstill in the other. Biopsy specimens of the right atria showed amyloid deposits, but specimens of the right ventricles and skin did not. Neither pat...

متن کاملClinical characteristics of patients with persistent atrial fibrillation successfully treated by left atrial ablation.
BACKGROUND We sought to characterize patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who were successfully treated by ablation targeting the left atrium (LA). METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-three patients (58±10 years, 79 male) undergoing ablation of persistent AF were studied. During the first procedure, ablation was performed in the LA and coronary sinus, consisting of pulmonary vein isolatio...
