An Uncommon Cause of Syncope and Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus: Speech-Induced Atrial Tachycardia.

Project description:An 83-year-old, previously healthy woman experienced frequent episodes of syncope following conversations. Speech-induced atrial tachycardia complicated by left atrial appendage thrombus was diagnosed as a potential etiology. She was successfully treated via catheter ablation. This is the first case report suggesting an association between arrhythmia, syncope, and atrial thrombus formation.

Swallowing-induced atrial tachycardia: case report.

Project description:A 53-year-old man presented with heart palpitations while swallowing. Electrophysiologic study (EPS) and immunohistochemical results of his esophageal leiomyoma suggested that swallowing-induced atrial tachycardia is related with neural reflex. S100-immunopositive nerve fibers are demonstrated sympathetic nerves which possibly explain the mechanism. Metoprolol tartrate tablets are effective in our patient.

Tachycardia-induced silencing of subcellular Ca2+ signaling in atrial myocytes.

Project description:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by sustained high atrial activation rates and arrhythmogenic cellular Ca2+ signaling instability; however, it is not clear how a high atrial rate and Ca2+ instability may be related. Here, we characterized subcellular Ca2+ signaling after 5 days of high atrial rates in a rabbit model. While some changes were similar to those in persistent AF, we identified a distinct pattern of stabilized subcellular Ca2+ signaling. Ca2+ sparks, arrhythmogenic Ca2+ waves, sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ leak, and SR Ca2+ content were largely unaltered. Based on computational analysis, these findings were consistent with a higher Ca2+ leak due to PKA-dependent phosphorylation of SR Ca2+ channels (RyR2s), fewer RyR2s, and smaller RyR2 clusters in the SR. We determined that less Ca2+ release per [Ca2+]i transient, increased Ca2+ buffering strength, shortened action potentials, and reduced L-type Ca2+ current contribute to a stunning reduction of intracellular Na+ concentration following rapid atrial pacing. In both patients with AF and in our rabbit model, this silencing led to failed propagation of the [Ca2+]i signal to the myocyte center. We conclude that sustained high atrial rates alone silence Ca2+ signaling and do not produce Ca2+ signaling instability, consistent with an adaptive molecular and cellular response to atrial tachycardia.

Right atrial appendage tachycardia: A rare cause of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy in a 4-year-old child.

Project description:We present a rare case of tachycardiomyopathy in a 4-year-old girl. The child had incessant atrial tachycardia (AT) and refractory heart failure. Right atrial appendage (RAA) was localised as the source of the ectopic tachycardia. The child underwent successful radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using 3-D electroanatomical mapping. Fluoroscopy was used sparingly only to rule out underlying anomalies. The left ventricular functions returned to normal by one month after the procedure. RAA AT is rare in very young children and usually necessitates surgical appendectomies. RFA is a challenge in such age groups and there are very few published literature on RAA AT in very young children.

Clinical Features of Tachycardia-induced Cardiomyopathy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation.

Project description:Objective Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cause of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC). However, which patients with AF are prone to developing TIC remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the clinical features of AF patients with TIC. Methods This single-center study included 722 patients with AF (average age, 63.1±10.2 years old; 191 women) who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation. We defined TIC as an initial left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of <40% and a >20% recovery of the LVEF after successful AF ablation and compared the clinical characteristics between the TIC and control groups. Results The proportions of type 2 diabetes (30.5% vs. 14.7%), renal dysfunction (34.2% vs. 23.8%), hypertension (67.1% vs. 54.8%), and persistent AF (62.2% vs. 32.2%) were significantly higher in the TIC group (n=82) than in the control group (n=640). The atrioventricular nodal effective refractory period (AVNERP) (303±72 ms vs. 332±86 ms; p=0.017) was significantly shorter in the TIC group than in the control group. A multivariable analysis found that persistent AF [odds ratio (OR), 3.19; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.94-5.24], renal dysfunction (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.06-3.32), and type 2 diabetes (OR, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.31-4.05) were significantly associated with TIC. Conclusion Comorbid renal dysfunction and type 2 diabetes were clinical features of AF patients with TIC. Persistent AF, and short AVNERP may be involved in the development of TIC.

Focal Atrial Tachycardia Originating From the Right Atrial Appendage Masquerading as Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia.

Project description:Focal atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage (RAAT) may be misdiagnosed as sinus tachycardia. The electrocardiogram from this case demonstrates a negative notched P-wave in leads V1 and V2 during RAAT compared with a beat of sinus rhythm. RAAT was confirmed and eliminated with mapping and ablation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Altered time course of amygdala activation during speech anticipation in social anxiety disorder.

Project description:BackgroundExaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC).MethodParticipants (SAD n=58; HC n=16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task. Repeated measures multi-level modeling analyses were used to examine group differences in time course activity during speech vs. control anticipation for regions of interest, including bilateral amygdala, insula, ventral striatum, and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex.ResultsThe time course of amygdala activity was more prolonged and less variable throughout speech anticipation in SAD participants compared to HCs, whereas the overall magnitude of amygdala response did not differ between groups. Magnitude and time course of activity was largely similar between groups across other regions of interest.LimitationsAnalyses were restricted to regions of interest and task order was the same across participants due to the nature of deception instructions.ConclusionsSustained amygdala time course during anticipation may uniquely reflect heightened detection of threat or deficits in emotion regulation in socially anxious individuals. Findings highlight the importance of examining temporal dynamics of amygdala responding.
