ATRIAL ARRHYTHMIAS

Efficacy of patient activated antitachycardia pacing therapy using the Medtronic AT500 pacemaker

A 28-year-old female with corrected anomalous pulmonary venous drainage presented with multiple atrial arrhythmias many years later. Ablation techniques eliminated most of the arrhythmias except atrial tachycardia with 1:1 AV conduction. A dual-chamber pacemaker with antiatrial tachycardia features was implanted and was shown to be effective in arrhythmia control when the standard algorithm was overridden by an external patient activation device.

Key Words: Atrial arrhythmias, Pacemaker, Electrophysiology, Cardiac surgery
