We reported the case of a 51-year-old woman who experienced multiple types of arrhythmias over three decades and was diagnosed with Danon disease late by genetic testing. Case summary A 51-year-old woman with a 36-year history of intermittent palpitations was admitted due to hemodynamically stable ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Objective We aimed to assess the effect of SGLT2i on arrhythmias by conducting a meta-analysis using data from randomized controlled trials(RCTs). Background Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown cardioprotective effects via multiple mechanisms that may also contribute to decrease arrhythmias risk.

Cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation is crucial to right atrial flutter (AFL) and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Identification and eradication of this electric pathway is important to prevent the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias.

What arrhythmia is present? Let's first consider the heart rate: with a heart rate of 194 beats/min, the heart rate is too low for atrial flutter (1:1) (except in patients who have been pre-treated with medication), and the rate would be unusually high for atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction.

The rhythm differential for narrow, regular, and tachycardic is sinus rhythm, SVT (encompassing AVNRT, AVRT, atrial tach, etc), and atrial flutter (another supraventricular rhythm which is usually considered separately from SVTs). Therefore this patient is either in some form of SVT or atrial flutter.

The WCT is interrupted by a series of variable-morphology QRS complexes, with atrial flutter waves note in II, III, and aVF. Detail of Flutter waves The rate of the flutter waves matches the rate of the WCT (about 200/m), proving that the presenting WCT had been 1:1 atrial flutter.

When atrial fibrillation (AF) begins, it can start with a single focus, degenerating to multiple wavelets, and it spreads throughout the entire surface area of both atria. A fibrillatory wave that occurs at a rate of more than 600 beats per minute can cause fatigue in the long run, leading to atrial dilation.

There is atrial activity before every QRS, but that activity has negative polarity, so it is not sinus rhythm. There are clearly no flutter waves, so it is not atrial flutter (a "macro-reentrant" atrial tachycardia) Is it AVNRT originating at the superior pole of the AV node, resulting in a retrograde P-wave before the QRS?

Re-entrant tachycardias (atrial flutter, PSVT, AVRT, VT) have constant regular heart rates, whereas sinus tachycardia will usually gradually change rate with differing conditions (for instance, after infusion of fluid and BP increase, sinus tach rate might decrease from 130 to 125, for instance). So there is a re-entrant rhythm.
