CASE REPORT Capture and fusion beats during atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two patients were presented, and two previously unreported observations were made. Patient 1, a 50 year old man with episodic palpitations and dizziness for 10 years, exhibited initiation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) by atrial fibrillation (AF). Patient 2, a 43 year old woman with a structurally normal heart but recurrent palpitations for one year, demonstrated fusion and capture beats during simultaneous VT and AF. An explanation is given as to why the latter phenomenon is rarely observed.

متن کاملTwo mechanisms of termination of idiopathic reentrant ventricular tachycardia originating from the left coronary cusp/right coronary cusp commissure with nonglobal capture
Case report A 74-year-old man with symptomatic idiopathic VT that was refractory to multiple antiarrhythmic agents was referred to our hospital for electrophysiologic study. On admission, a 12lead ECG showed atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed normal left ventricular systolic function with a dilated left atrium. The His–ventricular interval at baseline was 45 ms. A sust...
متن کاملProtective effects of simvastatin on atrioventricular node during simulated experimental atrial fibrillation in vitro
Introduction: Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. The primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an isolated atrioventricula...
