A Difficult Case of Atrial Tachycardia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 60-year-old male with a history of prior ablation of typical cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter presented to us with recurrent palpitations. The surface 12-lead EKG was consistent with atrial tachycardia, for which an ablation was planned. The patient was found to have multiple marcroreentrant left atrial tachycardias utilizing areas of scar as substrate. Isthmuses of tissue with fractionated electrograms associated with scar were targeted for ablation.

A Case Report of Neonatal Atrial Flutter with Poor Feeding and Tachypnea
Background: Arrhythmias in neonates are not common and usually affect newborns with a normal heart or those that suffer from structural heart disease. A malignant type of arrhythmias is supraventricular tachycardia. Meanwhile, one uncommon type of supraventricular arrhythmias is atrial flutter (AFL), which is founded upon reentry mechanisms in the atrium. The AFL may result in heart failure or ...

متن کاملImages and Case Reports in Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Restoration of Sinus Rhythm by Incarceration, not Elimination, of Focal Atrial Tachycardia in Left Atrial Substrate Post Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
While diseased regions of the atrial body commonly behave as a substrate maintaining atrial fibrillation (AF), these areas can uncommonly behave as trigger foci for atrial tachycardia (AT),1 particularly after previous ablation. Unlike venous triggers, the goal of ablation for these focal ATs is normally elimination of the tachycardia source, rather than complete isolation. We present a case of...

متن کاملMicroreentrant left atrial tachycardia circuit mapped with an ultra-high-density mapping system
Introduction Microreentrant tachycardias are well described and are thought to be responsible for a small proportion of atrial tachycardias post–atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, because of the small size of these reentrant circuits and the poor spatial resolution of conventional mapping tools, they have not previously been mapped accurately in vivo in humans and have therefore been d...
