Subocclusion of the sinus node artery during coronary angioplasty: arrhythmological considerations.

Clinical Cardiology

Abstract

We report the case of a 58-year-old man who developed atrial fibrillation as a result of iatrogenic subocclusion of a diseased sinus node artery, originating from the left circumflex artery (LCx), occurring during LCx stenting, suggestive of an ischemic etiology of sinus node dysfunction.

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.
