Three-Dimensional (3D) Mapping and Catheter Ablation for Simultaneous Reverse Typical and Atypical Atrial Flutter: A Case Report.

Atrial flutter, a common cardiac arrhythmia, is characterized by rapid and regular atrial contractions that result in a characteristic sawtooth pattern on the electrocardiogram. It emerges due to the formation of reentrant electrical circuits within the atria, giving rise to structured, sawtooth-patterned atrial waves as observed on electrocardiography. We present the case of a 52-year-old female with a medical history of ankylosing spondylitis, dyslipidemia, and a previous surgical closure of an atrial septal defect.

Unmasking Idiopathic Brugada ECG Pattern: Inducible Type 1 Brugada Pattern in a Young Patient and Clinical Implications.

Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited channelopathy associated with an increased risk of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, leading to syncope and sudden cardiac death. We present a case report of a young patient with an inducible type 1 Brugada pattern on an electrocardiogram (ECG), accompanied by a comprehensive literature review. The 19-year-old patient presented with dizziness and exhibited a type 2 Brugada pattern on admission ECG, which converted to a type 1 pattern following an Ajmaline test.

Pre-excited atrial fibrillation revealed at a very delayed age: case report.

Background: Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a condition characterized by the persistence of an accessory pathway responsible for ventricular pre-excitation that can lead to symptomatic and potentially severe arrhythmias. Coexistence with atrial fibrillation is well known and not uncommon, exposing to potential degenerescence into ventricular fibrillation when atrial impulses are transmitted along the accessory pathway. WPW syndrome is most prevalent in younger patients and cases revealed after an advanced age have rarely been described in the literature.

Delayed presentation of pacemaker Reel Syndrome and lead damage: Coincidence or consequence?

Reel syndrome is a pacemaker lead early dislodgment, characterized by reeling-in of the lead(s) without being damaged. We herein present a case of an 86-year-old woman, with medical history of single chamber pacemaker implantation two years ago, admitted in cardiology department with complete AV block. Chest-Xray revealed ventricular lead coiling around and behind the pacemaker device.
