Ectopic atrial tachycardia originating from right atrial appendage aneurysms in children: Three case reports
Introduction Ectopic atrial tachycardia occurs at a rate of 5%–20% among children with supraventricular tachycardia. Atrial appendages are the most frequent focus in children, differing from the situation in adults. However, ectopic atrial tachycardia originating from aneurysms of the right atrial appendage is very rare and in fact has not yet been clearly defined. We describe 3 cases of childr...

متن کاملEctopic atrial tachycardia in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) is an unusual and potentially risky arrhythmia that can result in left ventricular dysfunction if not properly managed. In adults, EAT is mainly caused by diseased atrial myocardium and responds poorly to antiarrhythmic drugs. The characteristics of EAT in children might be different from those in adults because of their immature myocardiu...
متن کاملSymptomatic Bradycardia Caused By Premature Atrial Contractions Originating From Right Atrial Appendage
Premature atrial contraction is a common form of supraventricular arrhythmias. In rare cases, severe symptoms other than palpitation may occur. In this report, we present a patient with symptomatic bradycardia which developed secondary to blocked premature atrial contractions and was successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation.
متن کاملSuccessful cryoablation of an incessant atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage.
The right atrial appendage can be the origin of focal atrial tachycardias. Their ablation can be challenging owing to the complexity of the appendage anatomy. To our knowledge, we describe the first successful solid tip cryoablation of a focal tachycardia within the right atrial appendage in a patient presenting with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
