Transient ST Elevation in Vagally Mediated Atrial Fibrillation.
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a case of vagally mediated atrial fibrillation on a young otherwise healthy man, with straight type ST-segment elevation in inferolateral leads that resolved a few hours after restoration of sinus rythm, a phenomenon that has never been previously reported. Even though no definite conclusion about the underlying mechanism of the ST-elevation can be made, this effect might probably be the result of intense parasympathetic tone and could be used to differentiate the causality.

Case report A 44-year-old man was admitted to the hospital after 2 episodes of syncope. Upon waking up at midnight, the patient proceeded to urinate, went back to his bed, and passed out. His wife noticed that he was not responding and started cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After about 2 minutes, the patient started to respond. An emergency medical services team was called, but before their arr...
متن کاملDistinct restitution properties in vagally mediated atrial fibrillation and six-hour rapid pacing-induced atrial fibrillation.
AIMS The atrial potential duration (APD) restitution has been suggested to play an important role in ventricular fibrillation; however, its role in atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been determined. This study sought to investigate the APD restitution properties in two different AF models: vagally mediated AF and 6-h rapid atrial pacing-induced AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty anaesthetized open...
متن کاملTransient symptomatic ST-segment elevation following transseptal puncture for pulmonary vein isolation
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) become a standard procedure in atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment, proved to be more effective than antiarrhythmic medication alone. The procedure of PVI requires access to the left atrium, provided by the transseptal puncture (TSP), which carries potential risk of complication. We describe a case of transient, symptomatic ST-segment elevation in 57 year old male ...
متن کاملST-segment elevation with elective DC cardioversion.
Elective direct-current cardioversion was performed in three patients with atrial fibrillation. Transient ST-segment elevation on monitored leads, lasting seconds, was recorded after cardioversion in all three patients. LDH, CPK isoenzymes, and myocardial scintigraphy did not reveal myocardial damage. Elective cardioversion should be performed with caution, for the potential for cardiac damage ...
متن کاملThree cases of vasospastic angina following catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation
Pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).Although vasospastic angina (VSA) is not a common complication after ablation of AF, we report 3 cases of VSA following ablation of persistent AF. Two of the 3 patients felt chest pain following pulmonary vein isolation, and complex fractionated atrial electrogram ablations were performed. ST elevation...
