Post-transseptal puncture re-entrant atrial tachycardia mimicking typical flutter.
Acta Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, CHU HELORA Jolimont Hospital, La Louvière, Belgium.
This case report discusses the management of a 75-year-old man who developed an unusual type of atypical atrial flutter following a previous pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Despite a second attempt to re-isolate the pulmonary veins and performing cavotricuspid isthmus ablation (which was suspected to be part of the arrythmia circuit), the flutter continued and was converted to sinus rhythm through electrical cardioversion. A few weeks later, the patient's atrial tachycardia relapsed.

Clinical Research Associate, Zuventus Healthcare Limited, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
Aim And Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of Ibutilide infusion for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter (AFL) to sinus rhythm.
Materials And Methods: This open-label, multicenter phase IV study was conducted at six sites across India. The study enrolled 120 patients (108 with AF, 12 with AFL), each receiving up to two, 10-minute intravenous doses of 1.
Factors related to the decision to perform synchronized cardioversion for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias by prehospital emergency medical services workers.
Heart Lung
January 2025
Sakarya University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Emergency, Sakarya, Türkiye. Electronic address:
Background: While clinical indicators for synchronized cardioversion in regular supraventricular tachycardias are well-established, their application by prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) still needs to be explored.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the decision-making process of prehospital EMS personnel to perform synchronized cardioversion in adults with narrow QRS regular tachyarrhythmias.
Methods: This descriptive study included 598 paramedics actively engaged in prehospital EMS.
External DC Shocks of Symptomatic Supraventricular Tachycardia during Screw-In Leadless Pacemaker Implant: A Case Report.
Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
January 2025
Electrophysiology and Cardiac Pacing Unit, San Giuliano Hospital, Giugliano in Campania, Italy.
We present the case of a 64-year-old man who, during the implantation of an active-fixation leadless pacemaker (LP, Aveir VR, Abbott, USA), underwent several external defibrillation shocks up to 240 Joules, due to symptomatic sustained supraventricular tachycardia at 160 bpm. The shocks, delivered both before and after the screwing of the device in the low interventricular septum, did not cause any technical damage to the device, and no complications were observed. The device was then deployed successfully.

BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Cardiology, Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
A man in his early 50s presented to the emergency department (ED) with sudden onset of palpitation and presyncope. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded in ED showed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia requiring cardioversion in view of haemodynamic instability. The patient was subsequently detected to have an anomalous left coronary artery origin from the pulmonary artery.
