Mapping and ablation of multiple atrial arrhythmias in a patient with persistent atrial standstill after remote viral myocarditis

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2009 Feb;32(2):275-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2008.02215.x.

Abstract

This is a case of multiple atrial arrhythmias (atrioventricular node reentry and two different focal atrial tachycardias) originating from the remaining atrial myocardium after global scarring of both atria following a remote viral myocarditis. All the induced arrhythmias were successfully treated with catheter ablation.
