Aneurysm and Atrial Flutter - Cardiovascular Update

A rare case of atrial flutter and a cystic mass in the left atrium

Heart BMJ

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024

A 24-hour 12-lead ECG revealed sinus rhythm, frequent atrial premature beats, paroxysmal atrial flutter with an atrial flutter burden of 9.37% and no paroxysmal ST-T abnormalities. Cystic formation of the foramen ovale Aortic sinus aneurysm Left. Observations revealed a normal temperature of 36.5°C

The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter. Also, lead I could give the initial impression of showing flutter waves. The ECG shows what is likely an atrial ectopic rhythm with a left anterior hemiblock.

Look for Vascular Etiology -- think of these while doing H and P: --Bleeding: ruptured AAA, GI bleed, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, other spontaneous bleed such as mesenteric aneurysms. And when you see the list of patients who had adverse events, 26 of 39 were identified in the ED.
