Atrial Standstill: a Rare Case
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a 32-year-old man who was evaluated for a dizziness and headache of unknown origin for at least two months and was referred to our center after ECG findings. He was finally diagnosed as a case of idiopathic, familial, diffuse, persistent atrial standstill, which is a rare arrhythmogenic condition characterized by the absence of electrical and mechanical activity in the atria. He successfully received a single-chamber permanent pacemaker.

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...
متن کاملAutosomal recessive atrial dilated cardiomyopathy with standstill evolution associated with mutation of Natriuretic Peptide Precursor A.
BACKGROUND Atrial dilatation and atrial standstill are etiologically heterogeneous phenotypes with poorly defined nosology. In 1983, we described 8-years follow-up of atrial dilatation with standstill evolution in 8 patients from 3 families. We later identified 5 additional patients with identical phenotypes: 1 member of the largest original family and 4 unrelated to the 3 original families. Al...
متن کاملAtrial standstill in a pediatric patient with associated caveolin-3 mutation
Introduction Atrial standstill (AS), a rare arrhythmogenic condition, is defined by (1) the absence of P waves in surface and intracavitary electrocardiograms (ECGs), (2) the absence of A waves in jugular venous pulse and right atrial pressure tracings, (3) the presence of a supraventricular type QRS complex, (4) the immobility of the atria on fluoroscopy, and (5) the inability to stimulate the...
