Swallowing‐induced atrial tachycardia: case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 53-year-old man presented with heart palpitations while swallowing. Electrophysiologic study (EPS) and immunohistochemical results of his esophageal leiomyoma suggested that swallowing-induced atrial tachycardia is related with neural reflex. S100-immunopositive nerve fibers are demonstrated sympathetic nerves which possibly explain the mechanism. Metoprolol tartrate tablets are effective in our patient.

Swallowing-induced atrial tachycardia arising from superior vena cava: Significant involvement of parasympathetic nerve activity
Introduction Swallowing-induced tachyarrhythmia is a rare clinical entity, and is defined as supraventricular tachyarrhythmia, such as atrial premature contractions (APCs), paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (AT), and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, that is reproducibly and consistently induced during a wet or dry swallow. Although the first case of a swallowing-induced tachyarrhythmia was reported ...
متن کاملSwallowing-induced tachyarrhythmia: Case report and review of literature
Swallowing-induced bradyarrhythmias due to vagal mechanisms have beenwell documented and are relatively commonplace. However, swallowing-induced tachyarrhythmia is an extremely rare syndrome of unclear etiology. We report a case of atrial fibrillation and SVT induced by swallowing solid foods and burping. Flecainide was prescribed with subsequent resolution of any inducible symptoms. A 50-year-...
متن کاملSupraventricular tachycardia induced by swallowing: a case report and review of the literature.
A 64-year-old man who complained of palpitations brought on by swallowing was found to have short runs of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) induced by swallowing. Electrophysiology studies suggested that the SVT was an automatic atrial tachycardia. An esophageal manometric study demonstrated that the tachycardia was coincident with relaxation of the upper esophageal spincter and pre...

Introduction Focal atrial tachycardia (AT) accounts for 5%–15% of arrhythmias in adults who undergo electrophysiological study (EPS) for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and it can be generated by enhanced automaticity, triggered activity, and microreentry. Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has been reported as a curative therapy for AT with a high success rate. While almost all i...
متن کاملSwallow-induced syncope: A case report of atrial tachycardia originating from the SVC
Introduction We report the case of an 80-year-old woman with syncope and atrial tachycardia (AT) induced by swallowing. Pharmacologic therapy was ineffective, and she underwent catheter ablation of AT originating from the superior vena cava (SVC). Potential mechanisms of swallow-induced syncope including AT and parasympathetic stimulation are discussed. Electroanatomic correlation with the role...
