Successful Ablation for Atrial Tachycardia Originated from Sinus Venosa with Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy

چکیده
A 74-year-old male suffering from congestive heart failure with atrial tachycardia (AT) with 2 : 1 atrioventricular conduction was admitted to our hospital. After the therapy with diuretics and β-blocker, his rapid AT was still sustained. He took the catheter ablation for his AT. Postpacing interval mapping from entrainment and noncontact mapping system revealed the mechanism of his AT, originated from sinus venosa. His AT was successfully terminated and eliminated by radiofrequency catheter ablation. After the successful ablation, he has been free from any AT, and his cardiac function was also improved.

Management of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to atrial flutter.
I read with interest the article by David et al. regarding a case of recurrent tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy secondary to typical atrial flutter. I have some concerns regarding the management of the recurrences of atrial flutter and tachycardiainduced cardiomyopathy in this case. The authors’ choice of treatment involved DC cardioversion of the atrial flutter that was successful in restori...
متن کاملPercutaneous pericardial instrumentation for endo-epicardial mapping of previously failed ablations.
BACKGROUND The epicardial location of an arrhythmia could be responsible for unsuccessful endocardial catheter ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS In 48 patients referred after prior unsuccessful endocardial ablation, we considered percutaneous, subxiphoid instrumentation of the pericardial space for mapping and ablation. Thirty patients had ventricular tachycardia (VT), 6 patients had a right- and...
متن کاملSuccessful radiofrequency catheter ablation therapy of an adolescent with atrial ectopic tachycardia.
Atrial ectopic tachycardia is an incessant supraventricular tachycardia and is frequently refractory to medical treatment. Because it can cause tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy, early diagnosis and treatment is important. We present a 16-year-old boy who was diagnosed as atrial ectopic tachycardia. The tachycardia, originating from the lower region of the right atrium along the crista termina...
متن کاملIntra-atrial conduction block mimicking atrioventricular nodal block after multiple catheter ablation procedures for atrial tachycardia in a patient with cardiomyopathy.
A 42-year-old woman with a history of cardiomyopathy and multiple ablation procedures for atrial tachycardia developed intra-atrial conduction block that mimicked atrioventricular (AV) nodal block during radiofrequency ablation at the cavotricuspid isthmus. She was treated with atrial pacing (from the coronary sinus), which overcame intra-atrial conduction block and resulted in AV nodal conduct...
متن کاملResolution of cardiomyopathy after ablation of atrial flutter.
OBJECTIVES We sought to serially assess left ventricular (LV) function before and after catheter ablation of atrial flutter (AFI). BACKGROUND The relation of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy to AFI and its response to direct catheter ablation are unknown. METHODS LV function was assessed in a series of 59 consecutive patients with successful radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of AFI before and...
