Dissimilar atrial rhythms. A patient with interatrial block.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with type A Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and prolonged interatrial conduction intervals developed atrial flutter during the course of an electrophysiological study. The atrial flutter blocked along the left-to-right conduction pathways in a Wenckebach pattern. The dissimilar atrial rhythms of right atrial tachycardia and left atrial flutter evolved as the interatrial block increased to 2:1 conduction.

Interatrial Block: A Virtual Pandemic Requiring Attention
Interatrial block (IAB) denotes a conduction delay between the two atria (P-wave duration ≥110 ms). Depending on the severity of the block, IAB can be partial or advanced. Even though several studies have reported a high prevalence of IAB, it still remains a diagnosis many neglect without any follow-up. The crisis in IAB is undramatic until predictable complications appear. Nevertheless, the da...
متن کاملAttenuation of interatrial conduction using right atrial septal catheter ablation.
OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize a method of attenuating interatrial conduction using radiofrequency ablated lesions applied to the right atrial septum. BACKGROUND Interatrial conduction occurs in specific zones. Recent data suggest that interatrial conduction can be important in triggering and sustaining atrial fibrillation. Therefore, a method for attenuating interatrial conduction may ...
متن کاملBradycardia-dependent interatrial block with retrograde left atrial activation.
A patient with a peculiar interatrial block is reported. The electrocardiogram showed a short PR interval and negative P waves in II, III, and aVF, which were preceded, 0-07 s earlier, by another positive P wave present in the right praecordial leads which were absent in the limb leads. From the study with His bundle electrograms, high right atrial electrograms, and bipolar oesophageal electroc...
متن کاملDual echocardiographic determination of atrial contraction sequence in atrial flutter and other related atrial arrhythmias.
We have applied the new technique of dual echocardiography to determine the sequence of atrial contraction as reflected in the simultaneously recorded movements of the tricuspid and mitral valves. The study group included 29 normal subjects and 23 patients with either atrial flutter, coarse atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia with block. In normal individuals, right atrial contraction pre...
متن کاملECG findings of acute myocardial infarction and atrioventricular block during a transseptal procedure for left atrial ablation.
We report on a patient with transient atrioventricular block and ST-segment elevation mimicking the ECG of myocardial infarction during transseptal puncture for radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Symptoms and EGG findings resolved spontaneously. A neurally-mediated mechanism, activated by the mechanical effects of the transseptal puncture on the interatrial septum and lead...
