[Incessant atrial tachycardia and a cerebral tumor].
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the case of an asymptomatic 78-year-old woman in whom incessant atrial tachycardia refractory to many pharmacological treatments appeared. Months after the appearance of atrial tachycardia, clinical neurological symptoms of a cerebral cystic tumor appeared. Treatment of the tumor resolved the rhythm disorder.

Incessant Atrial Tachycardia and a Cerebral Tumor
A 78-year-old woman with no history of heart disease or any other pathological process was seen in the outpatient clinic for a routine check-up. Cardiac arrhythmia was detected at this visit and she was referred to our center. The patient was completely asymptomatic and the physical examination was unremarkable. The only evaluable cardiologic feature was a relatively rapid and irregular pulse r...
متن کاملElectroanatomic Mapping-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Adenosine Sensitive Incessant Focal Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Non-Coronary Aortic Cusp in a Child
Incessant focal atrial tachycardia may be encountered in the pediatric age group although it is rarely seen. Ablation using radiofrequency or cryothermal energy is the preferred method for drug-resistant cases. Recently, 3D electroanatomic mapping systems have been increasingly used for mapping and ablation. In this report, we presented, for the first time, a pediatric case with incessant focal...
متن کاملIncessant tachycardia using a concealed atrionodal bypass tract.
A case of incessant supraventricular tachycardia continuing despite AV block is reported. Atrial tachycardia and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia were excluded, as was orthodromic tachycardia using a concealed accessory AV pathway. The earliest retrograde atrial activation was at the posterolateral tricuspid annulus, and the tachycardia was eliminated by ablation at this site. The findings in thi...
متن کاملSuccessful Non-fluoroscopic Radiofrequency Ablation of Incessant Atrial Tachycardia in a High Risk Twin Pregnancy
We describe a patient presenting with incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia during a high risk twin pregnancy. Tachycardia was resistant to escalating doses of beta-blockade with digoxin. Because of increasing left ventricular dysfunction early in the third trimester, catheter ablation was performed successfully at 30 weeks gestation. Electro-anatomic mapping permitted the entire procedure to be...
متن کاملTermination of focal atrial tachycardia by adenosine triphosphate.
An atrial aneurysm gave rise to incessant atrial tachycardia in a 21 year old Seychellian soldier. This arrhythmia was suppressed by intravenous adenosine triphosphate and ajmaline. Resection of the aneurysm abolished the arrhythmia and re-established sinus rhythm.
