Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...

Cardiac arrhythmias and syncope are rare consequence of therapy with pegylated interferon. We report a 55-year-old Egyptian woman who developed palpitation and syncopal attacks twice within 3 months after starting therapy with pegylated interferon alpha2b and ribavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C virus-RNA was undetectable after 12 week. The electrocardiogram hol...

Use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco is a considerable public health problem. In Turkey, a type of smokeless tobacco called Maras powder (MP) is widely used in the Southeastern region. We present a case of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation that was suspected to be caused by the use of MP, which has never previously been noted in the literature. A 46-year-old man was admitted to our emergency de...

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...

A 22 year old male referred with palpitation. General appearance and physical exam impressed us in that the patient has Marfan syndrome. Cardiac catheterization showed diffuse arterial ectasia. We found no previous report of this generalized diffuse ectasia.

This report describes a case of permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) that was ablated via the middle cardiac vein, guided by monophasic action potential recording. The patient was a 63-year-old woman who had been suffering from palpitation for 10 years. ECG during palpitation showed a narrow QRS tachycardia with a long RP interval. Electrophysiological study revealed that this ...
