Key result
Dual-chamber pacing plus propafenone prevents recurrent syncope from swallowing-induced AF and ~5-second asystole.
Why the study?
Swallowing-induced paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is a rare phenomenon with only about 50 reported cases in the literature.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Population
A 71-year-old female patient with swallowing-induced paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and neurocardiogenic syncope
Design
Case report
May support combined pacing and antiarrhythmic use in rare swallowing-induced AF with syncope; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.

Kao et al. (2019) studied this question. Dual-chamber pacemaker implantation and propafenone prevented recurrent syncope in a patient with swallowing-induced atrial fibrillation and neurocardiogenic syncope with 4.86-second asystole.
