Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: surgical repair in adulthood.

We report a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, dextrocardia in congestive heart failure, with severe tricuspid regurgitation; a large ventricular septal defect, and giant left atrium. The patient underwent a two-ventricle repair with physiologic correction and had an excellent postoperative outcome.

An epidemiological study of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in northwest Greece.

Aim: Although atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly sustained arrhythmia, information about its incidence in the general population is sparse. Even more sparse is information on an important variety of AF, paroxysmal AF. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of new cases of symptomatic paroxysmal AF per year ('incidence') in a general unselected population and to compare other epidemiological features with chronic AF patients.
