[Curative therapy in symptomatic atrial ectopy].
A female patient without underlying heart disease was highly symptomatic from short runs of atrial ectopy. Sustained atrial tachycardia or atrial fibrillation never occurred. Due to ineffective pharmacological therapy, catheter ablation combined with electroanatomic mapping (CARTO) was performed effectively. Characteristics of ectopic atrial tachycardia and the electrophysiological techniques are described.
