Pauses in atrial rhythm in a patient with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy: A case report.

Abstract:

:A 58-year-old woman with a history of multi-origin atrial tachycardia and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy was treated for presyncope caused by pauses in atrial rhythm. A dual-chamber pacemaker was implanted. The low-voltage area extended broadly, but 10-V pacing could not capture the large right atrium, including the right atrial appendage, except the coronary sinus ostium. The atrial lead was screwed in using a steerable stylet. A ventricular lead was placed in the right ventricular apex. Atrial pacing at the coronary sinus was required to treat the pauses in the atrial rhythm.

  • Sudden QRS morphology change during ventricular pacing in a scar-related isthmus What is the mechanism?

    abstract::We present an example of sudden modification in QRS morphology during ventricular pacing inside a scar-related isthmus. This is explained by a "concealed" sudden block in both the orthodromic and antidromic wavefront directions, allowing then the activation to proceed through a now overt antidromic conduction. ...
