AI Article Synopsis

  • A 53-year-old heart transplant patient is being treated for atrial tachycardia through a procedure called ablation.
  • The doctors find two different heart rhythms happening at the same time: a specific type of rapid heart rhythm (focal atrial tachycardia) in the donor atrium and irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) in the recipient atrium.
  • This combination of rhythms complicates the treatment process and indicates a need for careful management of the patient's heart issues.

Article Abstract

A 53-year-old patient with a history of heart transplant is referred for atrial tachycardia ablation. Two dissociated concomitant rhythms are observed: a focal atrial tachycardia in the donor atrium and atrial fibrillation in the remaining recipient atrium.
