متن کاملAuricular Fibrillation and Mitral Stenosis
The infrequent association of bacterial endocarditis with auricular fibrillation and with severe mitral stenosis is noted. The relevant literature is reviewed. Eighty-two cases of bacterial endocarditis superimposed on rheumatic heart disease and 47 examples of bacterial endocarditis without underlying rheumatic valvulitis are studied. Auricular fibrillation and severe mitral stenosis occurred ...
متن کاملA deadly mix - rheumatic mitral stenosis, preexcited atrial fibrillation, left atrial appendage thrombus and left atrial appendage accessory pathway
A 38-year-old female with rheumatic mitral stenosis on medical management presented with palpitations and presyncope since 10 days. Electrocardiogram showed an irregular rhythm at a rate of 160 bpm with preexcitation suggestive of atrial fibrillation with a left free wall accessory pathway (Fig. 1). Transthoracic echocardiography showed severe rheumatic mitral stenosis with a valve area of 1 cm...
