Why the study?
Incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia accompanied by neurological manifestations presents a clinical dilemma, prompting exploration of whether a true correlation exists between the conditions.
This case highlights the occurrence of unusual neurological manifestations in a young patient with incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia, emphasizing the importance of thorough evaluation for cardioembolic sources such as a patent foramen ovale.
Incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT) is well-known in the electrophysiology world. However, once accompanied by neurological manifestations, hence is a dilemma. We are reporting a 26-year-old male presenting with incessant symptomatic EAT. Once cardioverted, he began to manifest cardiovascular stroke clinical symptoms. Further objective investigation revealed no evidence of cardioembolic stroke. Our aim of this case report is to explore if there is a true correlation between EAT and possible neurological association and open further guidelines related to research.
