Dissimilar right atrial rhythms: a case report

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology : PACE
A R BhagwatI S Abdalla

Abstract

Dissimilar atrial rhythms are generally defined by the coexistence of atrial fibrillation in one atrium and a more regular rhythm in the other atrium, and are reported with left atrial enlargement and/or digitalis toxicity. We report a unique case of dissimilar atrial rhythms controlling two different parts of the same atrium without interfering with one another. The mechanism of the dissociation of two foci is not clear; however, scarring due to previous surgery remains a possibility.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
