Implication

Hypothesis-generating for mapping-guided ablation when AT mimics IST; leaves open confirmation before any practice change.

Structured PICO

Population

45-year old female patient with a past medical history of rheumatoid arthritis presenting with suspicion of inappropriate sinus tachycardia, later diagnosed with incessant atrial tachycardia

Intervention

Electrophysiologic study with electro-anatomic mapping and radiofrequency ablation of the ectopic focus at the right atrial appendage

Outcome

Elimination of tachycardia and improvement of symptoms

Careful ECG interpretation and electrophysiologic mapping can differentiate incessant atrial tachycardia from inappropriate sinus tachycardia, allowing for curative radiofrequency ablation.
