Conduction and refractoriness alternans may be seen with WPW-related as well as AV Nodal-dependent reentr y tachycardias — atrial fibrillation — acute pulmonary embolus — myocardial contusion — and severe LV dysfunction. NOTE : On occasion — Alternans may be seen with monomorphic VT ( Maury and Metzger ).

BACKGROUND:Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising treatment for atrial fibrillation. Patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein (PV) isolation under deep sedation or general anesthesia and returned for remapping at 90 days to evaluate chronic durability. paroxysmal, and 58.5%

Description There is atrial fibrillation at a rate of 95. When there is MI extending all the way to the epicardium (transmural), that infarcted epicardium is often inflamed (postinfarction regional pericarditis, or PIRP). What complication is the patient with post-infarction regional pericarditis at risk for? Lessons : 1.

Another frequent feature of hypothermia is atrial fibrillation (not seen in this case) Core temperature of this patient was 29,5 Celsius. Prominent J waves of this morphology thus are called Osborn waves. Severe hypothermia not uncommonly has accompanying T waves inversions. Troponins were negative in serial blood tests.
