NOVEMBER 11, 2024

Introduction:Dextrocardia is a rare congenital condition where the heart's apex points to the right, with an incidence of about 0.01%. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed a prominent S wave in the left-sided leads and a prominent R wave in the right-sided chest leads, suggesting dextrocardia.

Congenital Heart Defects Some individuals are born with heart defects that cause parts of the heart to work harder, leading to enlargement over time. Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart and can help detect abnormalities in the heart’s rhythm that might contribute to enlargement.

An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a common congenital heart defect in which there is a problem with the heart's blood supply, and the left side of the heart does not develop correctly. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.

We present the case of an elderly woman with congenital dextrocardia who experienced severe palpitations. An electrocardiogram revealed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and her medical history unveiled cerebral infarction and renal failure. In the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, anticoagulation is a key requirement.
