This case report describes the occurrence and management of persistently recurrent atrial flutter in a patient with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Palpitations are a symptom often reported by patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), yet the arrhythmias associated with this type of HCM have not been studied adequately. Herein, a case of persistently recurrent atrial flutter in a 63-year-old Greek man with apical HCM is presented. Synchronized direct-current shocks were used twice during his hospitalization in order to convert atrial flutter to sinus rhythm. No definite precipitating factor for the induction of atrial flutter was identified.
Gavaliatsis et al. (Wed,) conducted a case report in Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (n=1). Synchronized direct-current shocks was evaluated on Conversion of atrial flutter to sinus rhythm. Synchronized direct-current shocks successfully converted persistently recurrent atrial flutter to sinus rhythm in a 63-year-old man with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
